Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the Monteraponi winery located and in what area of Chianti does it produce?
Monteraponi is located in Radda in Chianti, in a natural amphitheater facing south and sheltered from northern winds. The property covers about 200 hectares, of which only 12 are under vine, among the highest vineyards in the whole Chianti Classico appellation.
Who runs the Monteraponi winery? Since when has it produced Chianti Classico?
The estate's origins go back to 1974, but it was in 2003 that Michele Braganti, a young entrepreneur with a clear vision, began producing Chianti Classico in a traditional style, growing Sangiovese and his own personal interpretation of Trebbiano.
What wine represents the Monteraponi winery?
Its flagship label is Chianti Classico Riserva Campitello, made from Sangiovese (90%), Canaiolo (7%) and Colorino (3%), a style that has earned the winery comparisons to some of Burgundy's great white wines for finesse and precision, despite being a red.
