The 2007 Chianti Classico Riserva shows off layers of expressive fruit supported by fine, silky tannins. This is a highly attractive, polished wine from Villa Cafaggio to drink over the next few years. The Riserva spent 18 months in French oak. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017.
Villa Cafaggio is located in the famous Conca d’Oro in Panzano, one of the very finest spots in all of Tuscany. The estate’s neighbors include Fontodi, La Massa and Castello dei Rampolla. It would be nice to see Villa Cafaggio make wines of a similar level.
