Fresh, lively and astringent, it magically accompanies typical Tuscan dishes: steak, roasts and stews, as well as cured meats and cheeses. It can mature in the bottle for many years due to its strong acidity and tannin characteristics.

Caparsa, "Caparsino" Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2018	93 Vinous The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Caparsino is a super classic wine from Paolo Cianferoni. Dark and resonant, with striking aromatic dimension, the Caparsino has so much going on. Wild cherry, tobacco, kirsch, spice and blood orange build as the 2018 gains aromatic breadth with a bit of time. The 2018 is a stunner, but it needs time to truly open. 16.5++/20 Jancis Robinson Radda in Chianti. 100% certified organic Sangiovese grown at 450 m elevation. Firm garnet colour. Autumn mulch and some evolution on the nose. Grip on the palate and still quite a register of tannins. Some finesse too. Not nearly ready, but promising.

Caparsa, "Caparsino" Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2019	92 Vinous The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Caparsino is an absolutely joyous wine that expresses all of the pedigree of this small hillside estate. Wonderfully pure and nuanced, the Caparsino is a super-classic Radda Chianti Classico. Bright saline notes run through a core of sweet red cherry fruit, chalk, mint, flowers and white pepper. All the elements are so well balanced. 93 Wine Advocate This organic wine shows a humorous sketch on the front label of an old man with a traditional Chianti flask. The Caparsa 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Caparsino offers a pretty spread of dark fruit, ripe berry nuances, toasted spice and earth. It’s all Sangiovese matured in large oak casks. This plush, medium-bodied red represents a production of 12,000 bottles all said and done.	Bottle Image Label Image Tech Sheet
