The vineyards are situated at a high altitude, a natural condition that encourages pronounced acidity and ensures an excellent \u003cstrong\u003ecapacity for ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e. The vine roots delve into soil rich in \u003cstrong\u003egalestro mixed with clay\u003c\/strong\u003e, a geological matrix fundamental to giving the wine its distinctive and \u003cstrong\u003emarked savouriness\u003c\/strong\u003e. The cellars, housed in historic buildings, provide an ideal microclimate with natural humidity and constant temperature, supporting a rigorous artisanal agricultural approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vinification process begins with \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e in vitrified cement tanks, carried out without any temperature control and without the use of selected yeasts. Maceration on the skins lasts for over a month, accompanied by manual pumping over and punching down. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally, before the wine rests in large \u003cstrong\u003eoval oak casks\u003c\/strong\u003e for its long maturation. A subsequent period in cement allows for natural settling, making fining and filtration unnecessary. The cycle concludes with \u003cstrong\u003egravity bottling\u003c\/strong\u003e, performed in full respect of nature's rhythms during the waning moon phase.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eChianti Classico Il Campitello Riserva\u003c\/strong\u003e is born in the heart of Radda in Chianti, in a medieval village where centuries-old history blends with a purely artisanal agricultural approach.
