Monteraponi Chianti Classico Riserva Il Campitello 2020
$122.00Add to cartWe love the wines of Monteraponi. There’s a lightness to them that can transcend some of the heft that comes with wines out of this part of italy. That’s not to say that they aren’t controversial. They produce wines that are typically more Burgundian or even (gasp) Piedmontese than some of their neighbors but that doesn’t make them any less delightful. They retain acidity, florals, minerality, and a restrained elegance that lifts the palate.
This is their take at classic Chianti Classico. It’s mostly Sangiovese with a touch of Canaiolo and Colorino,and it’s delicious while still being light on its feet (for Riserva Chianti).

Montevertine Montevertine Rosso 2020
$117.00Add to cartThe story of the legendary Montevertine estate in Radda-in-Chianti begins in 1967, when Sergio Manetti purchased the property and planted two hectares of vines with the modest intention of making wine to share with his family and friends. It turns out he had a knack for the craft, and word swiftly spread in the area about the quality of wine Montevertine was creating from their excellently situated high-altitude vineyards.
The wines have been classified as “Rosso di Toscana” since 1981 due to their strong belief that Trebbiano should not be included in their wines—even though, ironically, they have always been, among the purest expressions of Chianti Classico.
Their vineyards are worked without chemicals; grapes are hand-harvested; fermentations are spontaneous; no stainless steel exists at the estate—only cement and old wood; sulfur is applied conservatively, and only at racking; and neither fining nor filtration are employed.

Ridge Lytton Springs 2022
$89.00Add to cartIs Ridge the best American producer? Maybe, the Montebello is a truly transcendent bottle of wine.
The Ridge Lytton Springs wine is the second step up in the storied producer’s Zinfandel offerings. Celebrating their 50th vintage from this old vine site (that already had 80 year old vines on the property) the wine is Zin dominant with a bit of Petite Sirah, Carignane, and a kiss of Alicante Bouschet. It has a complex nose of boysenberry, cigar box, anise and sage, and is full-bodied with mouth coating tannins and balanced acidity to round it out. Notes of plum, blackberry, mineral, pepper, and dark chocolate play on the tongue. Yum.

Ridge Three Valleys Sonoma County 2021
$45.00Add to cartIs Ridge the best American producer? Maybe, the Montebello is a truly transcendent bottle of wine.
The Three Valleys bottling is the perfect intro to Zinfandel. It’s big and plummy and generous. It’s a fun, full-bodied bottle that showcases what Zin can be in the right hands.
This is a perfect choice if you are happy with the warmer weather but still want something dark and even a little brooding. It’s like curling up with a good crime drama. I’d recommend pairing it with Elaine May’s Mikey & Nicky.

Salcheto Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2022 375ml
$18.00Add to cartA tasty Tuscan wine from a pioneer in transparent farming and environmental stewardship. Salcheto even goes so far to include a carbon calculator on their website. Their sustainable farming and winemaking practices include non-invasive organic and biodynamic growing methods, as well as systematic energy and water conservation.
From their Sangiovese prugnolo Gentile vineyards, where interestingly one bottle comes from one plant. The wine ferments in wood and ages in large and small oak barrels for 18 months before resting at least 6 months in the bottle.
