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.

The organic Monteraponi 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Campitello is a beautiful wine that expresses itself elegantly, thanks to balanced fruit, good concentration and well-dosed intensity. The wine is a blend of 90% Sangiovese, 5% Colorino and 5% Canaiolo with berries from 55-year-old vines on a mix of schistous galestro and limestone alberese soils. It offers a noticeably darker appearance with aromas of pressed blackberry, button mushroom and blue flower. This Riserva maintains a wild but delicate personality throughout, with a spot of crushed white pepper in a distant background role. Only 6,600 bottles were made.

The Monteraponi 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Campitello (with the black label) is an organic expression that shows some of the richness and the extra weight of this drought-prone vintage that resulted in darker, more compact berries. The bouquet is framed by thick blackberry, dried plum and prune. There is a point of dryness on the finish that underlines the tannins and the fruit ripeness. This wine reflects the ups and downs of the vintage, and I am suggesting a shorter drinking window as a result.

The Monteraponi 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Campitello is a gorgeous wine that delivers both power and elegance. These are two seemingly opposite characteristics that, in truth, complement each other beautifully, especially in the classic vintages such as this. Dark cherry fruit and forest berry are followed by light touches of wild rose and fresh potting soil. The wine is authentic and pure. It transports you to this beautiful corner of Tuscany with rolling hills and thick shrub brush, home to wild boar and roe dear. This wine will become more silky and streamlined with more bottle aging, and the wait will be absolutely worth it.

The 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Campitello does a great job of matching vintage to growing site. You get those plump red fruit flavors from the warm vintage contrasted against the crisp acidity and brightness that are characteristics of Radda in Chianti. This is a wine of dimension and depth. It offers a clean, linear or etched quality of fruit with wild cherry and rose hip at the front. Spontaneous fermentation with ambient yeasts occurs in cement vats followed by 26 months in botte grande. Fruit is sourced from a 46-year-old vineyard, and the blend is 90% Sangiovese, 8% Canaiolo and 2% Colorino.
