Conti Capponi, Villa Calcinaia, Vigna Contessa Luisa 2021 – Chianti Classico Gran Selezione

(organic) The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose offers juiciness, freshness and concentration in its fruit. It expresses notes of ripe morello cherry, red cherry, blackcurrant, wild strawberry, crushed raspberry and red plum in the background, combined with notes of liquorice, vanilla, dark chocolate, a hint of white pepper and cumin. There is also a fragrant floral bouquet (lilac, peony, wild rose), a touch of toasted almond, coffee in the background and pine sap. The palate is straight and precise, with a tangy framework in the flavors of cranberries, red cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant, morello cherry and blueberry. On the mid-palate, we find spicy notes (liquorice, a hint of vanilla, nutmeg, cumin), toast (toasted almond, chocolate, cocoa nibs, a hint of coffee), floral (peony, rose, lilac). The finish is juicy and gourmand, with a clean flavor of black plum and a hint of wild mint and toast. Beautiful refreshing and salivating tangy structure, good bitterness and persistence. The tannins are slightly grippy, but fine and sapid. A wine with accuracy and freshness.
