Monte Bernardi | Sangio | Chianti Classico 2021 (Ohio Only)

This week's pairing shows a beautiful balance between fruit and earth, is medium-bodied and well-balanced, with a nice structure and juicy acidity.

'Sangio' is an expression of the soils and microclimate of select vineyards in the high hills above Panzano in Chianti, the coveted Saia vineyards.

Story: The estate name, Monte Bernardi, dates back to 1085. The majority of the vineyards are over 40 years old, with the first wine produced in 1992. Previously the grapes were sold to neighboring farmers. The Schmelzer family purchased Monte Bernardi in 2003 and has since invested great amounts of time, love, and money in the vineyards, the winery, and the villa. The Monte Bernardi estate extends over 53 hectares. The vineyards are situated in the hilly, southernmost region of Panzano, an area acknowledged as a Grand Cru of Chianti Classico. The vineyards are perfectly situated - standing 350 meters above sea level, surrounded by forests, and enjoying a southern exposure, with the Pesa River flowing just a few hundred meters to the south. These factors contribute to the perfectly unique micro-climate that is Monte Bernardi.
