Region: Chianti Classico, Tuscany

A Chianti Classico good enough to drink every week deserves to be bought by the case. Monteraponi's is exactly that: honest, organic Sangiovese from Radda.

Monteraponi is Michele Braganti's certified organic estate in Radda in Chianti. This Chianti Classico is 95% Sangiovese and 5% Canaiolo. It ferments spontaneously in concrete without added yeasts or temperature control, stays on the skins for at least 25 days, ages for about 16 months in large French and Slavonian oak, and is bottled without filtration.

Pale, bright red. Violets, raspberry and a peppery note on the nose; a strong mineral streak on the palate, with silky tannins that keep it elegant rather than heavy.

The house red for pasta night, pizza, grilled sausages or a Sunday roast. Serve slightly below room temperature.

Where it comes from

Chianti Classico, Tuscany

The hills between Florence and Siena where Chianti began, defined as its own zone in 1932 and distinct from the wider Chianti around it. Eight communes, vineyards up to 700 metres on galestro and alberese.

Every Chianti Classico is red and at least 80% Sangiovese; the black cockerel on the neck is the Consorzio's mark. A Riserva spends at least two years ageing before release.

Hill country, with warm days and cool nights at harvest

Radda in Chianti, Chianti Classico

Run by the Braganti family

Since 1974
Second generation
12 hectares

Family-run
Organic (certified)
Natural yeasts

Monteraponi is a medieval hamlet on a hill above Radda in Chianti, with roots in the tenth century. Michele Braganti's father bought it in 1974, and for years the family sold its grapes to others.

That changed when Michele and his wife Alessandra took on the vineyards: since 2003 every bottle has been their own. The grapes are picked by hand, fermented with their own yeasts in concrete and aged in large old oak casks, with the advice of the Tuscan winemaker Maurizio Castelli. The aim is finesse and lift rather than weight.

Certified organic. 12 hectares of vines up to 570 metres, on stony alberese and galestro, within an estate of woods and olive groves.

About Deliciously Fine Foods

Italian food, from inside London's market

Since 2016 we've supplied London's restaurants and food shops from New Covent Garden Market, where the city's kitchens buy their food while most of us are still asleep. Deliciously Fine Foods opens the same larder to yours, in three ways.

We bring it to you

We import charcuterie, cheese, preserves, olive oil, pasta and truffles from artisan family producers in Italy, including Subissati, curing salumi in the hills of Roccastrada, and Maremma in Barattolo on the Tuscan coast. We know every one of them personally. Our founder, Luigi, sits in on their planning meetings when new products are developed, so we know how things are made long before they reach the shelf.

We cook for you

In 2025 we opened our own kitchen at the market to cook with what we import: slow sauces, soups, trays to reheat at home. Some dishes are made to order, so they reach you fresh rather than after a week in a fridge.

We come to you

Our chefs can bring our produce and our skills into your home, for a dinner you actually get to sit down at.

How it reaches you

In Central London we deliver ourselves, by electric cargo bike, which overtakes the traffic more often than you'd think. The rest of the UK mainland goes by courier, and our wines come from our cellar in Fulham. No minimum order.
