The Cavarchione vineyard was planted in 2009/2010 to a mixture of high-quality Chianti Classico clones of Sangiovese. Located in the commune of Gaiole, near the hamlet of Vertine. Cavarchione shows a bright mid-red color, aromas and flavors of red fruit, herbs, pencil shavings and game meat. Beefier than the other two crus, very balsamic, very long, very fresh, expressive and clean.

The 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Cavarchione is a polished, sensual wine. Black cherry, plum, lavender, sage, menthol and licorice build effortlessly in a Gran Selezione that captures all the textural richness that is typical of this sector in Gaiole. Ripe, finessed tannins wrap it all together. - By Antonio Galloni on June 2024

The 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna Cavarchione is fabulous. Dark, layered and beautifully expansive on the palate, the 2021 presents an exotic mix of dark red/purplish fruit blended with expressive floral and earthy notes. Ample and creamy, with notable energy, the 2021 is positively stellar. Readers will find a wine of remarkable breath, as is typical of the wines of this sector of Gaiole. - By Antonio Galloni on June 2023
