90% Sangiovese, 7% Canaiolo, 3% Colorino. Baron' Ugo is made from a 40-year-old vineyard planted in 100% alberese based soil at 560 m above sea level (among the highest altitude vineyard in all of Chianti Classico). Fermentation takes place in cement tanks, followed by a maceration of around 45 days. The wine is aged in 3,000 liter oak barrels for 36 months, and is bottled without being fined or filtered. The first vintage of Baron'Ugo was 2006 but the wine's history as a single vineyard bottling goes back to 1974. The vineyard is named after Monteraponi's original 10th century property owner, Baron Ugo Marchese. In 2012, which was a very particular vintage, the color of the wine was very light and alcohol was only 12.5%. As a result, the consortium did not grant it Chianti Classico Riserva status. Since then Michele has labeled it an IGT Toscano Rosso and not applied for a higher designation. The winemaking has stayed the same since the first vintage.
