The 2016 Chianti Classico by Cafaggio is a tight and streamlined wine—and not a particularly generous one when it comes to its overall fruit profile. The wine is crisp and medium-weight with bright cherry, cranberry and cassis-like aromas. There is some spice woven in there, but it is subdued and downplayed. The main theme here is freshness and tangy acidity, perfect for pizza. Some 100,000 bottles were made.
