    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Simply gorgeous. Enticing but vivid cherry and raspberry fruit with a tangy herb and rock salt tinge. The tannins are crisp and provide focus and structure to the wine, yet melt sumptuously into the mouth. A thrilling mix of seduction and vitality. A blend of 90% Sangiovese, 7% Canaiolo and 3% Colorino. A 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.

    Antonio Galloni,
    Vinous
    The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Campitello is dark, powerful and super-expressive. Black cherry, plum, spice, leather, licorice and menthol infuse this decidedly brooding, potent Riserva. A touch of new oak adds sweetness without being intrusive. Ample and strapping in feel, the 2016 could use a few more years in bottle to be at its best, but it is super-impressive, even today.
