Cafaggio 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva

Cafaggio's written history reaches back to 1408, when the Panzano property appeared in estate records as Cahago, an enclosed cultivated field. Cafaggio took on its present shape from 1967, when the Farkas family restored the neglected cellars and replanted vineyards and olive groves; ISA acquired the estate in 2016. Today its vineyards occupy roughly half of a 60-hectare property in the Conca d'Oro, with olive groves and woodland completing the landscape. The winery has been managed organically since 2014. Clay and marl-rich soils, varied exposures and the estate's Panzano setting give Sangiovese a clear point of origin. For the core Chianti Classico wines, official technical records describe hand harvesting, controlled fermentation and patient maturation in large Slavonian oak, a restrained approach that keeps the estate's Tuscan character in view.
