The 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Campitello emerges from the oldest vines, planted about 55 years ago. It is also one of the very finest wines I have tasted at Monteraponi. Deep and beautifully layered, the 2020 offers up an exotic mélange of dark fruit mixed with hints of lavender, spice and sage. Time in the glass brings out the wine's striking inner sweetness and perfume. This vivid, explosive Riserva is endowed with tremendous depth and explosive energy. The 2020 spent 24 months in cask.

Packaged in a bottle with a black label, the organic Monteraponi 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Campitello is Sangiovese with smaller parts Canaiolo and Colorino. The vines are older for this wine, reaching 55 years of age, and the soils at Il Campitello site offer an even mix of limestone alberese and schist-clay galestro. These conditions naturally set this wine up for both elegance and structural power, and this warm vintage delivers on both, with perhaps more emphasis on the power. It's a lovely wine from one of the best estates in the appellation.
