A warm autumn sun accompanied the end of the harvest. Even the last bunches of Sangiovese have reached the cellar, and the first impressions are positive. The unstable spring weather was balanced by a hot summer and September rains, which brought vitality to the grapes. The harvest period, which has been rather unusual in recent years, extended until October 15. The amount of grapes delivered to the Monti in Chianti cellar is higher than in the past. The average alcohol levels are slightly lower than in recent seasons, where they had reached significant levels. An intoxicating scent of must spreads through the winery’s vats.
