The Monteraponi Chianti Classico Riserva Il Campitello is among the finest expressions of Sangiovese you will find. Its limited production makes that all the more challenging. The Cru Il Campitello is the oldest planting at Monteraponi exceeding 40 years of age. Elevation here in Radda is 420 meters yielding textbook Riserva from ‘galestro’ soils which is drinkable now but will well endure another decade.

Aromas of mature plum, blue flower and pipe tobacco shape the nose along with a whiff of leather. The focused palate delivers juicy morello cherry, blood orange and licorice while taut fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity offer lithe elegant support. Drink 2022–2029.

95 points, Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast (Nov 2020)

The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Campitello is a beautiful, radiant wine. Succulent red cherry, red plum, crushed rose petal and blood orange infuse the 2017 with striking layers of nuance that continue to develop over time. In this warm, dry vintage, the 2017 has an extra kick of richness, but there is plenty of Sangiovese acidity to keep things in balance.
