Notes | |||
"Chianti Classico Tenuta di Capraia is a wine with excellent complexity and structure. It has a red color with violet hues. Intense nose rich in fruity, winy aromas. Accompanied by a pleasant fruity cherry component, the fresh note is particularly remarkable and balanced with hints of lively tannins, which are perfectly integrated with the wine’s extract components." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"A dark and slightly brawny version, yet with concentrated black cherry, blackberry and violet flavors. The structure is dense, with fine-grained tannins. Fresh finish. Sangiovese, Colorino and Canaiolo. Drink now through 2029. 3,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported." —Wine Spectator "A rich and spicy expression of Chianti Classico with cumin and fennel on top of the black cherries and sweet raspberries. Quite full for a Chianti Classico, with ripe but juicy and firm tannins to close. Drink now." —James Suckling |
