Villa Calcinaia is situated in the centre of Chianti Classico near the town of Greve-in-Chianti. This historic estate has been home to the Counts Capponi since 1524, and is maintained by Sebastiano Capponi and his brother Niccolo. In 1992, Count Sebastiano Capponi became the first in the history of the family to manage the winery personally, giving a new life to the vineyards and the cellar.

This mixed case includes:

4 bottles x Cappone Chianti Classico DOCG 2020
Red | Sangiovese

The 'Cappone' Chianti Classico displays elegant notes of red cherry, cranberry and mineral aromas. Smooth, medium-bodied, and fruity, reflective of the dominant Sangiovese grape. This is a delicious and crowd-pleasing dry wine with vibrant red fruit flavours, soft tannins and a bright acidity, rendering it incredibly food friendly. 

Pairing suggestions: Pair it with tomato-based creations, such as pizza and pasta. It also pairs wonderfully with charcuterie and cheese boards – a no-brainer!

2 bottles x Villa Calcinaia Chianti Classico DOCG 2019
Red | Sangiovese
Calcinaia's Chianti Classico is very aromatic and savoury, with bright red fruit and hints of roses, violets and dried leaves. On the palate it is supple and dry, with round fruit flavours, refreshing acidity and well integrated tannins. 

Pairing suggestions: Chianti wines pair excellently with fatty dishes and stands up to tomato sauce dishes. It also pairs terrifically with rich pieces of meat: from cured meat boards to the regional classic bistecca alla Fiorentina.
