Casa di Monte 'Le Capitozze' Chianti Classico DOCG, Italy 2021

Description

The Casa di Monte 'Le Capitozze' Chianti Classico DOCG 2021 is a delightful expression of Sangiovese from the heart of Tuscany. Produced by Azienda Agricola Casa di Monte, a family-owned estate in Montespertoli with roots dating back to 1924, this wine reflects the region’s storied winemaking tradition while showcasing the unique qualities of the 2021 vintage.

On the nose, this Chianti Classico offers an inviting bouquet of ripe red cherries and blackberries, interwoven with the signature floral hint of violets that’s so emblematic of the region. Subtle notes of spice—think clove or a touch of cinnamon—emerge, likely from careful oak aging, alongside a whisper of earthy minerality that speaks to the terroir of the Chiesanuova vineyards near Florence. The ruby-red hue, bright and youthful, hints at the wine’s vibrancy.
