Cafaggio Chianti Classico DOCG 2013 (Italy)

Description

A very intense ruby red color in the glass. It has a fruity aroma with spicy notes and a full concentrated palate, refined tannins with a very pleasant finish.

Villa Cafaggio produces a Chianti Classic made exclusively with Sangiovese grapes. The vines grow on land owned by and surrounding the estate, which is situated in Panzano in Chianti, set in the heart of the 'Conca d'Oro' (Golden Basin), one of the symbols of Tuscan winemaking. 

Manually harvested in late September and early October, alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperatures, breaking and soaking of the marc through pumpovers with air, spontaneous malolactic fermentation, maturation for 12 months in 65 hl Slavonian oak barrels, and then bottle-aged for a further three months.

Grown in silty-clay loam soil, originating from grey and olive green marl limestone and calcareous sandstone of 'Argille scagliose' (scaly clay) formation.
