A top source for classically made Italian wines, Tenuta di Capraia is located in Castellina, the heart of the Chianti Classico district. It's owned and managed by a Wine Buyer favorite Rocca di Castagnoli, and was certified organic in 2017. This under the radar producer is an original member of the Consorzio Chianti Classico. While Castagnoli is one of the largest producers in the region, they bottle only the very best from their production, which results of great typical character have been achieved.
"The 2021 Chianti Classico is superb. Bright and vibrant, the 2021 has plenty of fruit behind its lively acids. Dark red/purplish berries, crushed rocks, lavender and rose petal are some of the many notes that inform this explosive, deep Chianti Classico. The 2021 is a stellar wine, especially with a bit of air." Vinous Media, 92 Points
"A crunchy red with aromas of dried flowers, cherry stones, red plums and lemon leaves. Medium-bodied, with chewy tannins and a textured, rustic finish." James Suckling, 91 Points
"This red is highlighted by juicy black cherry and blackberry flavors, with earth and iron accents. Firms up on the lively, persistent finish." The Wine Spectator, 91 Points
