The 2019 Vecchie Terre di Montefili Chianti Classico DOCG is a classic expression of 100% Sangiovese from the hills of Panzano in Chianti Classico. Crafted with spontaneous fermentation and matured in large oak casks, this wine reflects the estate's traditional approach while highlighting the purity and freshness of the 2019 vintage. The nose opens with aromas of red cherry, cranberry and ripe redcurrant, complemented by hints of clove, dried herbs and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and fine-grained tannins that create an elegant, balanced structure. Flavours of red cherry, wild berries and savoury spice are supported by gentle mineral notes, leading to a long, refined finish. Approachable now with a short decant, the wine also has the structure to develop gracefully over the next 8–12 years.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Chianti Classico for customers who enjoy traditional Tuscan Sangiovese with freshness, elegance and food-friendly structure. Pair it with pasta with rich tomato sauce, grilled lamb, wood-fired pizza, roast pork or aged Pecorino cheese. Best served after a short decant, with rewarding drinking now or careful cellaring over the next 8–12 years.
