The selected grapes of the traditional red varietals like Sangiovese and Canaiolo are handpicked from the vineyards on the estate between mid-September and the beginning of October and fermented in stainless steel tanks for the production of Chianti Classico. The different blocks of Sangiovese and Canaiolo are aged in 30 hectolitre oak casks. After 20 months of ageing the cuvee is then made and aged for another 4-6 months in cement vats built inside the winery.

Ruby red with garnet shadings

Fruity flavour with traces of cherry and ripe fruit. On the palate, the wine appears to be of medium structure, typically well balanced, fully flavoured and persistent in its aftertaste.

This wine is best paired with roasts or any tomato based dish.

 6- 8°C

Manually

Among the rolling hills of Villa Calcinaia there are a few particularly cool valleys.

When Sangiovese from these small passes is harvested very early, it’s youthful, aromatic vivacity is captured, and we have the perfect foundation for a sparkling wine.

Only free run juice from the first whole-cluster pressing is used.

This approach is atypical for Sangiovese, but is critical to achieve an elegant sparkling wine.

Aged in cement vats for a period of 15 months and an additional three months in the bottle to release.

Intense golden yellow colour, clear and bright

Pure flavours are framed by playful acidity and tiny, elegant bubbles in this distinctive, sparkling wine.

It is an ideal companion to fish dishes, from sushi to fried calamari or shrimp.

It is also recommended with grilled fish, and will counter the sometimes slightly bitter notes from open fire cooking.

This wine is usually produced from the best blocks of old vines with the sunniest exposition in the estate owned by the Conti Capponi near Greve in Chianti. The ripe and perfectly healthy grapes from each block are long fermented and then aged separately for 20 months in French oak 500 liters tonneaux and Slavonian oak 30 hl casks. After the cuvee is made the wine ages for another 4/6 months before its bottling.

Rich ruby red 

The bouquet is mature in its fruit, well blended with the oak. The taste of the wine is soft, velvety. The structure is solid and the wood well integrated. The aftertaste is spicy and persist.

This wine is best paired with rich meat dishes

100% Merlot

Manually

A Supertuscan made from a single vineyard Merlot originally planted in 1967 on a northeastern slope on the hills of Villa Calcinaia at Greve in Chianti. The wine is aged for 24 months in 225 litre barrels of French oak.

The organoleptic analyses of this wine reveals a deep and intense colour

The bouquet is faint at first but gradually expands and increases in volume thanks to the oxygenation provided by the steering of the glass. On the palate the wine provides a firm and smooth structure and the tannins remind us that this Merlot “chianteggia”.

Casarsa goes deliciously with refined dishes of red meat or game. Excellent with grilled meats, roasts and traditional Tuscan recipes with wild boar.

Villa Calcinaia has undertaken over the last ten years a program to heighten the production of its Chianti Classico wines which has involved the renewal of most of its vineyards. Qualifying elements of the renewal program were and are the fulfilment and respectful restoration of the terraced land, thereby allowing for the vines to be planted following the contour line rather than the highEast incline. Another qualifying element is the recovery of the duly acknowledged historical clones of Sangiovese by examining individually each vine that was found on the plots of land originally ran by the sharecroppers. It was from this generation of vineyards, planted on a clayey and calcareous soil and surrounded by the big umbrella pine trees of the Bastignano holding, that, at the time of the 2006 vintage, the production of Chianti Classico wine of only Sangiovese was started. It is called Bastignano after the name of the holding on which the vineyards grow. The wine is a revealing and unusual expression of the warmth and the light of the ecological nook in which it grows.

One finds in Bastignano the light of a ruby

 Spicy bouquet and a distinct soft elegance of taste.

Perfect with red meats and game, it is ideal as sipping wine.

The white varietals of Trebbiano and Malvasia, together with a portion of the red grape Canaiolo, are dried naturally after harvest in the Estate’s drying room to produce this traditional Tuscan wine. During the drying process the grapes are constantly controlled and mouldy berries are carefully cleaned off. By February the grapes, that have reached about 350/400 grams of sugar content, are pressed and racked to tiny Slavonian oak barrels of 55 liters, in Tuscany known as caratelli. Here the sweet must ferments on the spontaneous yeast population for approximately 8 years with only the occasional refilling before bottling.

Amber colour

Intense resinous aroma characterized by dry apricot. Lots of fruitiness which becomes fuller on the palate, whose feeling is smooth and velvety with a well balanced sweetness.

Vin Santo is at its best served with well matured cheeses, foies gras or even better as an after dinner drink.
