About the Capraia Effe 55 Chianti Classico (Gran Selezione) 2016 750ml
The Capraia Effe 55 Gran Selezione 2016 is a prestigious expression of Chianti Classico, showcasing the elegance, structure, and age-worthiness that define the top tier of Sangiovese-based wines. Produced only in exceptional vintages, this Gran Selezione represents the pinnacle of the estate’s winemaking from meticulously selected grapes and the finest vineyard parcels.
Tasting Notes:
-
Appearance: Deep ruby red with garnet reflections.
-
Nose: Complex and refined, with aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, violets, leather, and a touch of tobacco, enhanced by earthy undertones and hints of sweet spice.
-
Palate: Full-bodied, structured, and harmonious. The tannins are firm yet silky, perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity. Layers of dark fruit, dried herbs, and oak notes unfold across a long, elegant finish.
Grape Variety:
-
100% Sangiovese (typical of Gran Selezione wines)
Aging:
Aged extensively in oak barrels and bottle-aged before release, this wine is built to evolve beautifully over time.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve at 18°C. Ideal with rich Tuscan dishes, bistecca alla fiorentina, aged cheeses, or game meats.
Cellaring Potential:
Excellent aging potential – drink now through 2035.
