Chianti Classico 1998 Caparsino

White wine “Bianco di Caparsino”

Pale gold colour, intense and interesting aromas of white flowers and chamomile jump from the glass followed by citrus fruits and a slight honey aroma. The mouth is dominated by an intense minerality softened by some nice apricot fruit. A complex wine with yeasty autolysins notes that will reach an even greater complexity with adequate bottle age.

Consistency: 28 - Balance: 23 - Integrity: 25 With this oenologist’s sensitivity, and with such control of tannin, we can and must relax on the acidity. We will find fruit. However, the wine is of superior Class.

Elegant red fruit character, on the nose. Balanced, though a touch tannic, with excellent fruit coming through.
