Conti Capponi / Villa Calcinaia Chianti Classico 2018 is a classic Tuscan red from the historic Villa Calcinaia estate in Greve in Chianti, produced under the Chianti Classico DOCG. It expresses elegant Sangiovese character with savory complexity typical of this noble region.

Winemaking process

The wine is made from hand-harvested Sangiovese grapes fermented in temperature-controlled tanks with extended skin contact to extract color and structure. It is then aged primarily in large oak casks before bottle maturation, preserving freshness while developing complexity and classic Chianti elegance.
