Campocorto

In Greve in Chianti, in the province of Florence, Campocorto is one of the smallest producers of Chianti Classico DOCG: a family-run operation that tends its vineyard with constant, close attention. The scale is declared by the numbers—only two thousand five hundred bottles a year—and itself becomes a stylistic hallmark. Every stage of the production chain, from vine to bottling, passes through the family's hands, ensuring a quality control that such a contained size makes possible and almost inevitable. Sangiovese, along with other red grape varieties suitable for Tuscany, finds an intensity here that only a production of this measure can seek: not breadth, but concentration. Campocorto interprets the denomination as an exercise in proximity, where small does not mean marginal but rather pervasive. Those who wish to see it up close are welcome: the winery hosts visitors for tours and tastings, an opportunity to personally gauge what it means to make Chianti Classico on this scale.
