Cafaggio conquers Wine Spectator!
In the heart of Chianti
At an altitude ranging from 300-400 meters a.s.l. and covering a surface area of roughly 60 hectares, Cafaggio’s conca d’oro vineyards have been renowned for the extraordinary wines they produce since the Renaissance and beyond (literally translated, conca d’oro means “golden shell”; it can also translated as “golden bowl” or “golden basin”).

Sangiovese
Tasting Notes
This is superb for the silky texture and pure flavors of cherry, raspberry and rose. Elegant and linear, yet with a solid spine of tannins for support. The sweet, ripe fruit and floral accents return on the finish. Best from 2023 through 2040. 500 cases made, 200 cases imported.
