This is Montenidoli’s flagship red wine and a classic expression of Sangiovese from San Gimignano. It’s called ‘Sono Montenidoli’ because it represents the spirit of the land and the hills overlooking San Gimignano facing Chianti Classico: I am Montenidoli.

Winemaking Notes: The finest bunches of old vine Sangiovese are chosen from Montenidoli’s vineyards for this wine. The grapes are manually harvested and vinified with a long maceration on the skins. The wine then matures for 2-3 years in French barrels. It’s bottled unfiltered to maintain its intensely powerful personality. The wine rests in bottle until release.

Food Pairings: Its fullness and structure make it perfect for special occasions. Pair with the more complex meat dishes, including game such as hare, boar, mountain goat, and venison. It goes well with aged and piquant cheeses including Pecorino di Fossa, Parmigiano, Gorgonzola, and Stilton. Try desserts made from chocolate or dried fruit. According to Elisabetta, “It is a cure for all depressions of body and spirit.”
