description

Paolo Cianferoni took over winemaking at his family’s 12 hectare property in 1982. Shortly thereafter he began the conversion to organic quality-driven viticulture. Extremely low yield farming on the unusually exposed west by northwest sloping vineyards at 450-575 meters above sea level results in an atypical style for Chianti Classico. The wines are dark, dense and brooding, yet fine, revealing their high altitude site, with aging potential well beyond what is commonly expected. These are wines that really shine in warm vintages. These are serious and really really delicious. I offer two vintages of their highly sought-after single vineyard expression. These are not to be missed.

Chianti Classico "Doccio a Matteo" Riserva 2007.
An expression of an excellent vintage. The selection of Sangiovese harvested in the homonymous vineyard with Colorino and Ancelotta make this wine unique.

Chianti Classico “Doccio a Matteo” Riserva 2019

Wine from Sangiovese grapes harvested by hand in the Caparsa vineyards. The colour is compact, purplish red. On the nose there is cherry, violet and perhaps eucalyptus and laurel; the sip is continuous and sinuous, the tannin expertly extracted; the whole conveys an unashamed sensuality. A wine to be paired with foods such as stews, Florentine steak, cheeses and cured meats. Long-lived. Caparsa offers its admirers a fine spontaneous wine from a mild vintage.
Grapes: 98% Sangiovese + 2% Colorino
Maturation: 10 Hl. oak barrels and cement vats
Fermentation: spontaneous, with native yeasts in cement vats
Filtration: Roughing
