Score 94/100 · Drink 2025-2038, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Oct 2025

The organic Monteraponi 2021 Baron'Ugo is buoyant and lifted with tart cherry and redcurrant. The wine is very sharp, angular, and it offers terrific freshness. At a time in which heavy red wines have passed from fashion, this medium-bodied red wine fills that void. The acidity is spot-on. I wonder about the wine's stability with cellar aging, but only time will tell.

The 2021 Baron'Ugo is sourced from vineyards Antonio Braganti planted in 1974 as a field blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino at 470 meters in elevation. Wild red cherry, tobacco, spice, incense and blood orange lend an exotic flair. Readers will find a heady, explosive wine that delivers the goods on all fronts. Impressive. Clean mineral notes frame the sustained finish. A classic wine from Radda.
