Caparsa Chianti Classico DOCG, Tuscany, Italy 2021

Caparsa is a vineyard run by Paolo Cianferoni and his big family since 1982: Gianna, his precious partner full of energies, Federico that works in the marketing area, Filippo who's working in the cellar and vineyards, Fiamma  studying Agricolture in Siena, Flavio and Francesco the young ones still in school.

The winery is totally organic certified, both in the fields and in the cellar. Sangiovese is the main grape in Caparsa, wich is located in Radda in Chianti area, maybe one of the most charming and beautiful areas in the world and one of the highest quality wines production areas too.

This wine is made of 100% Sangiovese. It is Caparsa's entry level wine, but it rivals other producers' top cuvées. Caparsa aims to showcase the terroir of Chianti, specifically in Radda, and ages its wines in cement, instead of oak. You will be met with bright acidity wrapped in grippy tannins, showcasing the wine's vitality. It would do great with a nice decant, or tucked away to age for couple years. 

"The 2021 Chianti Classico is a powerful wine. Dark, layered and beguiling, the 2021 has so much to offer. Macerated black cherry, licorice, new leather, cloves, incense and blood orange build as the 2021 opens in the glass. This is a very serious, hugely overachieving Chianti Classico from proprietor Paolo Cianteroni." Vinous 93
