Castelvecchi Chianti Classico Capotondo 2023

Castelvecchi Chianti Classico Capotondo 2023 is an authentic expression of Chianti Classico, crafted from 88% Sangiovese and 12% Canaiolo Nero. It showcases the harmony between fragrance and softness, fruit and structure, while reflecting a terroir shaped by centuries of history and traditional winemaking.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Chianti Classico typically shows a bright ruby-red color with youthful clarity. The nose leans toward fresh red cherries, wild berries, violets, and subtle herbal and earthy notes, with a graceful, Mediterranean character. On the palate, it is balanced and inviting, with lively acidity, fine tannins, and a core of juicy red fruit supported by a savory, structured finish. The Canaiolo adds softness and roundness to the Sangiovese’s natural tension, making the wine approachable now while still offering a few years of positive aging.

Production
Capotondo is produced in Tuscany’s Chianti Classico zone, where the vineyards benefit from a distinctive combination of altitude, hillside exposure, and soils that help preserve freshness and aromatic precision. The blend of Sangiovese and Canaiolo Nero reflects a traditional local approach, and the wine is made to express both the area’s historic identity and Castelvecchi’s cellar know-how passed down through generations.

Food & Serving
A versatile partner for Tuscan cuisine, this wine pairs beautifully with pasta with ragù, grilled chicken, roast pork, cured meats, and medium-aged cheeses. Serve it at around 16-18°C, and decanting is optional but can help open up the aromatics if enjoyed soon after opening.
