Got a favorite Chianti?

I like Monsanto.  Not terribly pricey at just over $20 for the reserva, but lots of body and age-ability.  Not really an old wine family (they bought the castle and vineyards about 60 years ago), but very serious about making a chianti that will cellar for a couple of decades and still be drinkable with only a few years.  The 2010 still needs to breathe for a couple of hours before drinking.

Vignamaggio Monalisa has never let me down.

I like Fattoria di Felsina.  Their Classico Reserva is good year in, year out.  The Best QPR IMHO.
