Monte Bernardi "Italia ti Adoro" Vino Rosso NV

Vin Chicago: 90 Points

(7/2025) Wine nerds put much stock into the intricacy of wine appellation laws, but wine LOVERS fully embrace a delicious wine made by a great producer from great grapes. Monte Bernardi, a respected Chianti Classico estate, does just that with this celebration of 'Vino Rosso' with organic certified grapes from many corners of Italy including plenty from Tuscany. Sangiovese, Malvasia Nera, Canaiolo, Montepulciano and Barbera join forces to make as charming and quintessentially 'Italian' a red as you'll find from first sniff. Made exclusively in concrete and stainless steel, it's a vibrant yet integrated red full of red cherry, black plum, loads of fresh herbs, clay earth and leather. A fun medium-bodied red for your stromboli and arancini pomodoro.
