WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Monte Bernardi Retromarcia Chianti Classico is a deep, ruby red with hints of purple. Intense notes of mountain herbs, aromas of cranberry, wild cherry and red plums, anise, spice, and orange peel. Fresh and fruity, medium-bodied, well balanced, with a nice structure, juicy acidity and a long finish.
TASTING NOTES:
From younger plots of 10 to 15-year-old vines surrounding the estate, Retromarcia sees a long maceration of 45 days and ageing in a combination of used barrels and concrete vats. The 2022 is perfumed with raspberry and delicate blossoms. As it opens, warm earth and beeswax emerge. Midweight, warm and flavourful, it expands with wild red berries and even a savoury hint of blood. Framed by delicate tannins, there's lovely purity, precision and frisky acidity here.
