Monteraponi

Michele Braganti’s wines breath Radda’s freshness. Even in the hottest years, they are midweight and bright gaining depth rather than brawn as they scale Chianti Classico’s quality pyramid. Initially an outspoken critic of the Gran Selezione category, Braganti has joined the fold with his new Bragantino bottling. He also manages to coax complexity and intrigue out of Trebbiano Toscano using partial whole bunch, a brief maceration on the skins and ageing on the lees in untoasted barriques.
