TASTING NOTES
Monte Bernardi is situated in the hilly, southernmost region of Panzano, an area that has been acknowledged as one of the Grand Cru of Chianti Classico. Retromarcia means “to back up” or “to reverse,” and this wine is Monte Bernardi’s traditionally made beacon of Sangiovese’s natural elegance and expressiveness. It's an approachable Chinati Classico with alluring scents of wild red fruit, mountain herbs and spice. The mouth dazzles with blood orange, cranberry, red plum and anise framed by balanced tannin and juicy acidity. There is nothing that can compare to the delicious combination of Chianti and a bowl of pasta with red sauce like a meaty ragu or a spaghetti bolognese. For the veggie lovers, try a warm pasta tossed with a sprinkling of cheese, fresh cracked pepper and a generous pouring of olive oil.
