The Chianti Classico Riserva "Caparsino" 2017 is the most famous wine of Caparsa: the first vintage produced was 1982. This wine is produced from hand-picked Sangiovese grapes and is aged in oak barrels, more or less for a long time according to the vintage, in this case about 8 months. The 2017 vintage, particularly hot, produced a wine of medium-high structure, fine and already pleasant from the date of bottling with prevalent aromas of dark fruit, but which in the finish light up with more red fruit colours. The selection of grapes in the areas of the vineyards most protected from the sun gave results of absolute excellence in this hot year. Caparsa offers its admirers a spontaneous, authentic and prestigious Chianti Classico di Radda in Chianti wine.
