TASTING NOTES
If you are looking for an authentic and organic Chianti Classico that truly represents the prestigious Panzano area, the Cafaggio Chianti Classico 2022 is the perfect choice. This wine is ideal for lovers of Tuscan wines and for those who value both quality and sustainability. It captures the full charm of pure Sangiovese, expressing the unique terroir of the Conca d’Oro. The 2022 vintage in Tuscany stood out thanks to warm weather balanced by well-distributed rainfall, which combined to produce wines with intense flavours, clear fruit character, and remarkable freshness. The tannins are elegant and well-integrated, while the characteristic acidity of Sangiovese keeps the wine lively, promising an interesting journey of development in the bottle. Panzano, a distinguished village situated in the heart of Chianti Classico, is famous for its galestro and alberese-rich soils. These conditions, along with the altitude and microclimate, encourage a slow ripening of the grapes. This results in wines that are highly expressive, fresh, and aromatically complex. Here, Sangiovese is grown according to organic farming principles, finding the ideal conditions to reach its full potential. The wine showcases intense red fruit aromas, unmistakable freshness, and a distinct mineral note typical of the local terroir. In the glass, it appears as a bright, medium-intensity ruby red—classic for Sangiovese. On the nose, rich and elegant aromas of ripe cherry take centre stage, conveyed with clarity and without any overpowering sweetness. The palate is juicy and engaging, dominated by fresh cherry, vibrant acidity, and firm yet perfectly integrated tannins. The overall balance and elegance make this wine enjoyable immediately, with the potential for further ageing as well. Cafaggio is a pioneer in organic viticulture within Panzano, located in the historic Conca d’Oro, an area long recognised for producing superior quality wines. The estate is distinguished by its artisanal selection of grape clusters and meticulous care throughout every stage of production. This dedication has made Cafaggio a true reference point for those seeking authenticity and respect for tradition. The 2022 vintage has received widespread acclaim from critics, who praise its freshness, typicity, and approachability. Among the best expressions of that year, the Cafaggio Chianti Classico stands out for its refined and elegant style. This wine pairs beautifully with Tuscan cuisine, red meats, and richly flavoured dishes. It is equally suited to convivial evenings with friends or as part of a high-quality wine collection.
