Cappone Chianti Classico 2024

Cappone Chianti Classico 2024 is a vibrant, pure, and organically farmed Tuscan red wine crafted by the historic Conti Capponi family at Villa Calcinaia near Greve in Chianti. Sourced from hand-harvested younger Sangiovese estate parcels, the fruit undergoes plot-by-plot fermentation in stainless steel vats before maturing for 15 to 18 months in concrete tanks without oak influence, followed by a minimum of three months of bottle aging to preserve crystalline varietal expression. In the glass, it displays a luminous ruby-red hue. The fragrant bouquet opens with fresh, lifted aromas of red cherry, cranberry, and wild blueberry layered with subtle notes of tilled earth, new leather, and crushed stone minerality. On the palate, it delivers a dry, medium-bodied profile defined by juicy red berry flavors, energetic natural acidity, and fine-grained yet firm tannins that resolve into a crisp, savory, and refreshing finish.

Food Pairing: Tomato-based pasta dishes, artisanal wood-fired pizza, cured charcuterie boards, grilled steaks, roasted poultry, or aged Pecorino cheese.
