Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

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. A blend of 90% Sangiovese 8% Canaiolo and 2% Colorino. The 40 year old single vineyard is planted at 420 metres above sea level, facing south west, on Albarese (hard limestone ) and Galestro (softer limestone ) soils. The wine is aged in large French and Slavonian oak casks for 26 months

GUARANTEED PROVENANCE

Provenance in fine wine

When it comes to purchasing wine, provenance is of utmost importance. A wine’s history – where it’s sourced from and how it’s been stored – can have an enormous influence on the eventual enjoyment it provides. At Justerini & Brooks, we can trace nearly every case back to the domaine, estate or Château it originally came from; we ship from over 200 wine producers throughout the world.

Wines not bought directly from the vineyard are either sourced from trusted suppliers, with whom we share the same philosophy and rigour in buying, or from our own network of Cellarers customers. These customers’ wines are stored in optimal conditions in Octavian Corsham and, in the vast majority of cases, have been stored by us since the wine was first shipped. We do not purchase wine from auctions.

We feel it is equally important to for our customers that the case they buy and leave in storage with us is exactly the same case they subsequently have delivered. This may sound obvious and straightforward, yet we are one of very few merchants to have taken measures to ensure this.

We have created a system where every case is independent, thereby ensuring a trail of ownership and peace of mind for every customer.

The Journey

Justerinis ensures that every case of wine stored with Cellarers (Wines) Ltd has a unique identifier and customer’s name, almost unheard of in the industry as it is expensive to administer. These details are printed and placed on every case which is logged and recorded under your account name and kept in the world’s most renowned storage facility, Octavian Corsham.

This information is sent from our systems to the warehouse every day to ensure the trail of ownership is verified and upheld.

While customer reserves are stored in Corsham, our physical stocks are kept in Hoddesdon, further providing a geographical separation between customers’ wines with Cellarers and Justerinis’ own stock.

Further Reassurance

Cellarers (Wines) Ltd is a legally separate limited company from Justerini & Brooks which currently holds approximately £450 million worth of customer reserves. It is fully insured to catastrophic loss. Many merchants will state that wine in their care is fully insured, but in reality this is on an individual case basis with insufficient cover for total loss as this is prohibitively expensive. The cover provided by Octavian and Justerini & Brooks is unmatched.

Cellarers (Wines) Ltd is audited by PwC every year.

Critic Reviews

Antonio Galloni,

Vinous

The 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Campitello is another gorgeous wine from Monteraponi. Powerful and structured, the 2015 delivers serious intensity from start to finish. Even with all of its natural richness, the 2015 retains terrific acidity and verve. It should age well for many years to come.

Monica Larner,

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

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.
