Caparsa is run by Paolo and Gianna Cianferoni and is based in Radda in Chianti in the province of Siena. The vines are grown at altitude on south facing hillsides- particularly adapted to the production of quality Sangiovese grapes. The estate is run strictly along organic lines, yields are low and quality control ruthless. This particular Chianti is a blend of 95% Sangiovese plus a splash of Canaiolo grapes, is aged in oak barrels for 2 years and is unflitered. 

A ruby-red in colour. Aromas of red cherries and violets. On the palate complex and pure with tart red-berry notes, integrated tannins and a racy acidity. The finish is warm and spicy. Excellent with a variety of traditional Tuscan dishes. Try with panzanella (tuscan bread, tomato and pepper salad), pici con ragu (pici pasta in a tomato and meat sauce ) or arista al forno (slow roast loin of pork with sage and rocket).
