chianti classico riserva
Tenuta cappellina
2018, DOCG
At the southernmost tip of the Chianti Classico region, you will find the organic winery of Tenuta Cappellina.
Here, perched on warm south facing slopes, we enjoy spectacular growing conditions and views across the whole of southern Tuscany.
Our work in the vineyards has delivered tannins ever more smooth and silky, and through careful selection of our best grapes, and 30 months of aging in Slavonian oak barrels, our Sangiovese now shows the character we have always looked for: fruit-driven wines, smooth, powerful, aromatic, salty. Our position at the warm southern tip of the Chianti Classico region gives rise to bold and intense fruit that is showcased in this perfectly rounded Chianti Classico Reserva. Certified organic.
Harvest Notes
Unlike the very difficult 2017, 2018 was a balanced year, with rainfall at the right time and ideal climate conditions.
The summer was warm, but still punctuated with cool nights, allowing the grapes to ripen gradually and with
complexity. Also the Cabernet delivered the goods, with intense dark fruit flavors, power and smooth tannins.
