Tasting Notes: This Old World classic conjures up cravings for focaccia and antipasto. Built on a backbone of fine tannins, it is a wine ready for the Italian table but also worthy of a few more years of cellar aging. With subtle fruit, harmonious balance and dry finish, it is a fine example of the Italian winemaking tradition. (Date tasted: 6/10/00)
Profile: When he purchased Monsanto in 1961, Fabrizio Bianchi became one of the pioneers in the modern revolution of Chianti making. Fighting to eliminate white grapes from the uvaggio and permission to use stainless steel for fermentation, Bianchi helped bring the Chianti tradition to a new age. Experimenting with international grape varieties like Chardonnay and Merlot, Bianchi is viewed as one of Chianti's finest innovators and artists.
