Wines
From their 30 hectars of vineyards, the Counts Capponi produce wines
internationally recognised and enjoyed since the beginning of the 20th
century.
However, the products of Villa Calcinaia were already well
known since the 16th century, as proven by documents in the family
archive.
Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG
The wine is produced from the vineyards on the hills with the best exposition in the estate. The ripe and perfectly healthy grapes are fermented for 12-15 days and the aged for eighteenth months in 30 hectolitre casks of Slavonian oak and in French oak barrels of 500 litres. The colour of Villa Calcinaia’s Chianti Classico Riserva is rich ruby, whilst the bouquet is mature in its fruit, well blended with the oak. The taste of the wine is soft, velvety, given its solid structure and its well integrated traces of wood. The aftertaste is spicy and persistent, Villa Calcinaia’s Riserva is for important occasions, with rich meat dishes, or just as an added enjoyment during a conversation.
