Caparsa, Chianti Classico DOCG

The “Chianti Classico 2020 Caparsa” is the base wine of Sangiovese from Caparsa, which does not mean that it is of inferior quality to the other types. It has a pleasantly acidic flavor, typical of Caparsa wines, on which elegant tannins wrap themselves, making the wine fresh and full of vitality. In particular, the 2020 is characterized by a more pronounced fruit than usual. Matured in concrete tanks, it is not affected in any way by the influences of wooden containers and keeps alive the authentic terroir typical of Caparsa wines.

Caparsa, Chianti Classico DOCG 2020	93 Vinous The 2020 Chianti Classico is one of the standouts of this vintage. Dark cherry, plum, spice, leather, menthol and licorice are all amplified in this decidedly potent Chianti Classico. In 2020, the Caparsa Chianti Classico is a bit broader than it usually is, but its balance is impeccable. The straight Chianti Classico is the humblest wine in the range, but in 2020 it is not too far behind the more ‘important’ wines, if at all! Don’t miss it. 17++/20 Jancis Robinson Radda. 100% Sangiovese. Certified organic. Mid-to-deep ruby. Savory, leafy cherry fruit with a hint of cardamom. Gorgeous, juicy fruit with rustic, gripping tannins. Unpolished and genuine. (WS) 91 Decanter Owner Paolo Cianferoni believes that Sangiovese from the cool sector of Radda needs plenty of ageing before release. This unoaked 2020 annata was refined exclusively in concrete vats and bottled in October 2023. Clean and nuanced, it slowly ekes out wild raspberry, black tea, dusty earth and orange peel, becoming more youthful and focused as it sits in the glass. The palate is tactile and savoury; chalky tannins wield their grip but dissolve gracefully with a pleasantly powdery sensation. Concentrated citrussy acidity emerges with a burst of florals on the finish.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
