This single vineyard 100% Sangiovese is Monterponi's top bottling. Facing the Baron Ugo vineyard, this wine is produced from a relatively young vines planted on virgin soils that used to hold olive trees directly above the hamlet. Sangiovese clone used to plant the vineyard originated from cuttings of Isole e Olena’s celebrated Cepparello vineyard propogated by Burgundy’s renowned Guilllaume vine nursery. The vineyard’s incredibly steep grade (nearly 50%) gives it a gorgeous exposition.

It is the domaine’s first pure Sangiovese wine, thus has a softer texture than the others. It is aged 42 months in new oak. The first vintage is 2019, released in the Spring of 2024. The name is an ode to what Michele was called as a young boy; “Bragantino,” or little Braganti. The label is a favorite painting of Michele’s fathers by the artist Nino Tirinnanzi, a student of the well-known Florentine painter Ottone Rosai.
