The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Caparsino is plush and wonderfully deep right out of the glass. Silky tannins wrap around a core of dark red cherry/plum fruit. Sweet pipe tobacco, cedar, mint, new leather and blood orange all envelop the palate. Readers will find a Riserva of uncommon character and distinction. Floral overtones extend the potent, layered finish. 2025 - 2041

Proprietor Paolo Cianferoni releases his wines a bit later than most. The 2021s are worth the wait. Readers will find Chianti Classicos of uncommon depth and character, starting with the Annata, which is ridiculously good. Caparsa remains one of the Chianti Classicos under-the- radar gems, a small estate known only to relatively small subset of wine lovers. These new releases are nothing short of captivating.
