This Chianti Classico Riserva from Monteraponi’s Il Campitello vineyard, hailing from the excellent 2017 vintage, will express intense aromas of sour cherry, wild raspberry, dried violets, and earthy undertones, complemented by savory hints of thyme, cedar, and a touch of balsamic. On the palate, it will be medium to full-bodied with a vibrant, characteristic Raddese acidity that provides freshness and length. Firm, well-integrated tannins will frame flavors of tart red berries, plum, iron-rich earth, and a subtle spice. The finish is long, complex, and savory, leaving a lingering impression of fruit and mineral notes.
