ABOUT THIS WINE
The Cafaggio Chianti Classico Basilica Cafaggio Single Estate is a 100% Sangiovese wine from the Chianti Classico DOCG appellation in Tuscany, Italy. Produced by Basilica Cafaggio (also known as Villa Cafaggio), the vineyards are situated in the 'Conca d'Oro' of Panzano in Chianti, at altitudes of 300-400 meters, on soils of galestro limestone and calcareous sandstone. The estate practices organic farming. The wine undergoes traditional fermentation in stainless steel tanks and is aged for 12 months in 65-hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels, followed by a year in cement tanks. The estate has a history dating back to 1408, originally a monastic farm, and is part of the Unione Viticoltori di Panzano, a collective committed to organic farming and classic styles.
