Log in / Sign up Podere La Cappella Chianti Classico Magnum 1.5L 2019
Crafted from a harmonious blend of Sangiovese and Merlot grapes sourced from our vineyards boasting a minimum age of 7 years, our Chianti Classico embodies a unique expression of time-honored tradition.
Thriving on soils abundant in clay and limestone, these vines flourish at an elevation of approximately 350 meters above sea level. In August, meticulous bunch thinning sets the stage for a meticulous winemaking process, with fermentation in contact with the skins spanning 15–20 days. The subsequent refinement unfolds over 6 months in both barrique and cask, followed by an additional 4 months of aging in the bottle.
"Pretty Killer Chianti Classico—the Podere La Cappella offers a happy juxtaposition of bright, ripe fruit and rugged earthy rusticity. On the nose it smells of baby wild strawberries, sour black cherry, jammy preserves, and black tea accompanied by subtle whispers of white truffle, and freshly sliced white mushrooms. On the palate, a dry dusty cling that you typically only find at the riserva level--shockingly affordable quality.14.5%" --Codey Foster, Wine Director
