From a formerly abandoned vineyard that was revived in 1992, Stella di Campalto has been a biodynamic pioneer here for decades. This single vineyard Sangiovese is sourced from her .4 hectacre parcel, and harvested by hand. The wine sees 42 months in used wood, and 27 months in bottle before release. This is an energetic Brunello with finesse, and a dry red to pair with roast leg of lamb with rosemary.

Young Chianti often smells of fresh fruit and herbs, while Chianti Classico Riserva can be dark and brooding. The term “Super Tuscans”...
