Conti Capponi – Villa Calcinaia
Chianti Classico
The Tasting
-
Appearance & Nose
01This Chianti Classico presents a vibrant ruby red hue, hinting at its youthful exuberance, and releases an immediate bouquet of sun-drenched cherry and wild violet, underpinned by a subtle whisper of damp earth and a touch of graphite. The nose is classically Sangiovese, offering layers of red fruits and a pleasing balsamic complexity that speaks of its Tuscan origins.

Palate & Finish
02On the palate, a lively acidity dances with firm, yet refined tannins, creating a beautifully structured mouthfeel that carries notes of ripe plum and a savory, almost smoky minerality. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of dried herbs and a delicate, elegant dryness. This wine is a perfect companion to classic Tuscan fare such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina or Pappardelle al Cinghiale, and would also shine alongside roasted lamb with rosemary or a selection of aged Pecorino cheeses.
