Chianti Classico Riserva Caparsino 96 points from Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva Caparsino is the more refined of the estate's two Riservas. Aromatic, silky and also plush, the 2016 is fabulous. Mint, pine, lavender, espresso and macerated dark cherry all open up in the glass, but more than anything else, the 2016 is a wine that gracefully marries power with richness.
Caparsa Chianti Classico DOCG 2016 93 points from Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
Caparsa's 2016 Chianti Classico is a wine of real character and personality. Beautifully perfumed and layered, the 2016 possesses tons of nuance as well as character. Black cherry, plum, leather, spice and menthol are some of the many nuances that develop in a deep, flavorful Chianti Classico that is simply compelling. The tannins could use time to soften, but readers are frankly going to have a hard time keeping their hands off this jewel of a wine.
