Product Notes

Monteraponi's Chianti Classico Riserva Il Campitello is a superb vintage, exuding elegance and heritage. This Tuscan wine exhibits a seductive ruby red hue presenting an inviting first impression. Redolent of ripe cherry, wild berry, and delicate notes of spice, it pleases the senses with its complexity. On the palate, an engaging balance of tannin and acidity complements the prominent dark fruit flavours. Aged in oak barrels, it imparts a subtle vanilla nuance, adding to the depth. The finish is lingering and velvety. This Riserva is a product of organic viticulture and stands as an exquisite representation of Chianti's winemaking tradition.

Tasting Notes

The 2015 Campitello is bursting with lush, smooth, salt-tinged and herb-infused strawberry and raspberry characteristics. Gorgeous fruit and a savoury complexity bind seamlessly together to produce a juicy, melt in the mouth Chianti Classico of energy and class

About the Winery

Monteraponi

Nestled in the verdant hills of Chianti Classico, Tuscany, lies the Monteraponi winery, a charming estate that is as rich in history as it is in flavourful wines. Spanning over 200 hectares, a third of which are dedicated to vineyards, this winery offers a captivating glimpse into the essence of Chianti winemaking.

The Monteraponi winery is esteemed for its traditional approach to winemaking. The vineyards, primarily planted with the classic Tuscan varietals of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, and Trebbiano, cling to stony terraces overlooking the picturesque Arbia Valley. The land's fertile soil and favourable climate bestow on these grapes an intensity and complexity that is undoubtedly reflected in each bottle of Monteraponi.

Inside Monteraponi’s ancient stone cellars, the winemaking magic truly comes to life. Each grape is handpicked and vinified separately to showcase the unique characters innate to each varietal. The wines then mature in large, old oak barrels, encouraging a natural evolution and richness of flavour without imposing too heavy an oak influence.

The acclaimed offerings include the elegant and earthy 'Il Campitello' Chianti Classico and the distinctively potent 'Baron' Ugo. Beyond their celebrated reds, Monteraponi also produces a wonderfully vibrant Vin Santo, a traditional Tuscan dessert wine, which is highly sought after for its irresistible sweet notes and velvety texture.

Beyond the wine, the Monteraponi estate itself is a sight to behold. The historic manor house dating back to the 10th century is surrounded by old cypress trees and sunflower fields. creating a tranquil ambience that beautifully complements the vineyard’s paradisiacal landscape.

While the Monteraponi winery stands as a testament to Tuscan winemaking tradition, it is also a beacon of Italian hospitality. Visitors are greeted warmly with guided tours and immersive tasting experiences to really understand what makes Monteraponi’s wines so unique,

From the rugged terrains that slope gently around the manor house, the sun-drenched vineyards, to the time-hallowed cellars; everything about the Monteraponi winery tells a story of the past and continues to shape the future of Tuscan wine - and indeed, it is a narrative worth tasting.
