This deft expression of Sangiovese walks a tightrope that ultimately adds to its appeal and versatile personality. The Cafaggio 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva Basilica Solatìo is measured and balanced. Initially it holds back to preserve an elegant first impression, but then it hints at some of the ripe, soft and exuberant fruit that was so easily obtained in the sunny 2015 vintage. The tannins are softly integrated, and the finish is fleshy and fruity but not heavy. Production is 25,907 bottles plus larger formats.
