Rossi di Caparsa 2007
Tuscany, ItalyFrom the cellar. This certified-organic tiny family estate makes compelling wine from old vines in the heart of Chianti Classico traditionally, with very little manipulation or modern technology. This wine is from Radda in Chianti, on hillsides of albrese, galestro, clay and sand at 450m, and is wild yeast fermented in stainless before aging in cement and bottled unfiltered. Sangiovese is aided by trebbiano and malvasia in this charming, textured, light red, now shrouded with the cloak of bottle age. Worn leather, dried cherry, dried black plum is textured with dust and scented with worn paper and wild herbs. Acidity is fine, but still with a brightness now nine years along, indicative of the quality of this IGT. I should have caught this a couple of years ago, but still charming to drink now.Tasted: 07 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
