The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Caparsino is gorgeous, but it also needs at least a few years in the cellar to be at its best. Bright acids lend energy to this super-classic, structured Riserva. Deceptively light in structure, the 2017 packs a good deal of punch. Dried herbs, cedar, leather, tobacco and mint hint as to how the Riserva will develop in bottle.

Once again I was deeply impressed with the wines I tasted from Caparsa, a tiny estate in Radda. Proprietor Proprietor Paolo Cianferoni presented two gorgeous Chianti Classicos that capture the best the vintage had to offer. The Chianti Classico is done entirely in cement, while the Riserva is aged in oak. Both wines are truly special and distinctive.
