TASTING NOTES
Basilica San Martino, Chianti Classico Gran Selezione wine, has been produced since 1985. The 3.82-hectare vineyard has a south-southeast exposure and is named after the ancient church of San Martino in Cecione. The wine is made from a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes. In particular, the vineyard follows organic cultivation practices. The 2019 vintage of Chianti Classico was well received. The Chianti Classico from the 2019 vintage is considered a very good vintage, with wines characterised by fresh fruit, lively acidity and soft tannins. The weather conditions during the harvest favoured uniform ripening of the grapes, leading to balanced, well-structured wines. The wines of this vintage are appreciated for their elegance and finesse, with a good capacity for ageing. The composition of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes in the Basilica San Martino contributes to the wine's unique and international character. This blend, combined with the organic cultivation methods employed in the vineyard, results in a distinct expression of terroir and grape varieties. In conclusion, Basilica San Martino is a Chianti Classico Gran Selezione wine that has gained international recognition since its inaugural vintage in 1985. The vineyard follows the principles of organic cultivation and produces wine from Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes. The exceptional weather conditions of the 2018 vintage in the Chianti region contributed to the high-quality grapes used in the production of this wine.

Cafaggio

Cafaggio Discover Cafaggio in Tuscany and its fine wines in our online store The historic Cafaggio Estate, located in Panzano within the renowned Conca d'Oro area of Chianti, comprises 60 hectares of land. With a long history dating back to 1408, the estate has changed hands over the centuries. Currently owned by ISA S.p.A, a financial company based in Trento since 2016, Cafaggio is dedicated to being a distinguished producer of Chianti Classico wines. The estate comprises 30 hectares of vineyards, 3 hectares of olive groves, and the remaining land is covered with woodland. Previously belonging to various entities, including the Benedictine monks of Siena, the Niccolini family of Florence, and the Florentine Hospital of Santa Maria Nuova, the estate was later renovated and revitalised by the Boddi family in the 19th century and the Farkas family in the 1960s. During the Farkas family's tenure, the cellars were restored and the vineyards and olive groves were given meticulous attention. Cafaggio is committed to continuous improvement and the careful management of the entire production process.
