Caparsa Chianti Classico Riserva Caparsino 2018

A Chianti Classico Riserva from Caparsa, made solely from Sangiovese from vineyards at about 450 metres above sea level in Radda in Chianti. The grapes are grown organically and harvested by hand; after fermentation in cement, the wine rests for 12 months in oak barrels. It is ruby red tending to garnet, with aromas of violet, red fruits, marasca cherry, aromatic herbs, almond and spice. On the palate it is structured, rich, with present and balanced tannin and a persistent finish. It suits grilled meats and medium to long-aged cheeses.
