Silvio Messana left his life in New York City to take over his family’s estate in the heart of the Chianti region of Tuscany. He and his wife Catalina quickly discovered their passion for biodynamics and haven’t looked back. Deep and complex, this Sangiovese rosé is both cerebral and totally quaffable.
Monteraponi Chianti Classico Riserva Il Campitello 2018
Monteraponi is known for making classic, elegant expressions of Chianti Classico. Their ‘Il Campitello’ is primarily Sangiovese & ready for some cellar time, but opens up after an hour or so of decanting. It’s a wine with nerve & can take on whatever slab of beef you want to pair it with.
Nestled among pristine nature, Castagnoli is one of the first fully organic estates in Chianti Classico. The ancient terraces, dry stone walls, and microclimates bring out the diversity and uniqueness of Sangiovese. Indulge in the elegant flavors and aromas of this delightful vintage.
This blend of Sangiovese and Merlot delivers all the classic spice, warmth, and body of classic Tuscan wines for an incredible value. It’s the quintessential Italian dinner wine — organically farmed and the ideal complement to juicy late summer tomatoes and comforting Italian dishes.
