Wine Advocate: 95 Points
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 6600 bottles were made.

The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Campitello is a wild powerful wine. Black cherry sage menthol gravel incense and tobacco show the more virile side of Sangiovese off to great effect. This potent brooding Riserva needs time in bottle to fully come together. Even so it is pretty impressive in the early going. - By Antonio Galloni on June 2022 Michele Braganti's wines offer extraordinary allure. Crafted from rugged hillside vineyards in Radda these wines beautifully marry transparency structure and Sangiovese character a pretty appealing combination in my book. In its current incarnation Monteraponi is a rather young estate. The wines here keep getting better and better as witnessed by the positively stellar 2020 Chianti Classico. Aging in large format oak really allows each of these wines to be super-expressive.
