Chianti Classico, Tuscany, Italy
GRAPE
Sangiovese
Bright ruby colour, with garnet and deeply vinous. The taste is dry, fruity tending over time to the soft velvet. Flavours include violet and spice layered atop juicy cherry. Tannins and structure increase with quality, but reflect fruit and terroir rather than oak.
Villa Cafaggio produces a Chianti Classico made exclusively with Sangiovese grapes. The vines grow on land owned by and surrounding the estate, which is situated in Panzano in Chianti, set in the heart of the ‘Conca d’Oro’ (Golden basin), one of the symbols of Tuscan wine-making.
90 Points, Wine Spectator
"Fresh, evoking cherry, plum, currant and sage notes, with support from dusty tannins. Balanced in a youthful, exuberant way, leaving dusty herbs on the finish. Drink now through 2030."
