The wine
Description and technical sheet
Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG Il Caggio IPSUS represents the pinnacle of wine production from the renowned Il Caggio estate, located in the heart of Chianti Classico. This prestigious wine is made from meticulously selected Sangiovese grapes from the estate's finest vineyards, where the combination of calcareous soils and an optimal climate creates an ideal environment for cultivating high-quality vines. The grapes are harvested by hand, allowing for rigorous selection of the best clusters. In the winery, the vinification process is conducted with meticulous attention. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by maceration on the skins for about 20 days, promoting the extraction of aromas and tannins. The wine then ages in French oak barrels for 30 months, allowing it to develop complexity and depth.
The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG Il Caggio IPSUS: Tasting Notes
The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG Il Caggio IPSUS presents a deep and brilliant ruby red color. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of aromas ranging from ripe red fruits like cherry and raspberry to delicate floral notes of violet, accompanied by hints of sweet spices and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and enveloping, with silky and well-integrated tannins that confer an elegant structure. The freshness and balanced acidity contribute to a long and persistent finish, with returns of fruit and spices. This wine pairs magnificently with roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses, making every meal a memorable experience
