Sensory Description:

Pouring a bright ruby hue, ‘Fiasco’ opens with inviting aromas of ripe red berries, violets, and a touch of warm spice. On the palate, it’s light- to medium-bodied with a core of juicy cherry, raspberry, and plum fruit, all complemented by floral notes and a whisper of dried herbs. A supple texture and soft tannins make it exceptionally drinkable, with just enough lift and grip to keep things lively. There’s no oak here—just fresh, unfussy pleasure from first sip to last.

Winemaker's Background:

Monte Bernardi is one of the most respected estates in Chianti Classico, located in the southernmost zone of Panzano, often referred to as a “Grand Cru” of the region. Since acquiring the estate in 2003, winemaker Michael Schmelzer has transformed Monte Bernardi into a beacon of organic and biodynamic farming, producing wines as expressive as pure. The estate encompasses 53 hectares, with 15 under vine, thriving in soils rich in galestro, arenaria, and alberese. Monte Bernardi's commitment to hand-harvesting, minimal intervention, and terroir transparency shines in every bottle, including the playful and honest ‘Fiasco.’

Serving Suggestions:

Serve slightly chilled at 14–16°C in a casual tumbler or red wine glass. This wine is perfect for pizza night, grilled sausages, BBQ fare, or rustic pasta with tomato and herbs. Equally at home on a picnic blanket or a candlelit kitchen table, it begs to be shared.

The 2022 Monte Bernardi 'Fiasco' Rosso is a deliciously unpretentious nod to tradition—bottled with love, crafted with intention, and made for drinking, not thinking.
