Monteraponi is one of the more intriguing properties in Chianti Classico. The estate's straight Chianti Classico is a terrific, super-classic Sangiovese, but some of the higher-end wines are less inspiring. It's hard to say if the top wines suffer from extended time in barrel, or if quality has improved meaningfully within the last few years, but both 2010s I tasted were uncharacteristically forward for the vintage. With a little more attention to the details, it seems pretty clear Monteraponi could be a top-tier estate in Chianti Classico.
