Villa Cafaggio Chianti Classico Riserva 2004

Vineyard area: Perfectly placed in Panzano in the Conca d`Oro, the Villa Cafaggio estate has 40 ha of vineyards, 85% of which are planted with Sangiovese. Over the past 15 years a major re-planting program has taken place. Vine density has been increased to 5.100 vines per hectare, producing less than 1,5 kilos of grapes per vine. Vines which have now reached perfect maturity are being used to produce the Chianti Classico.

We have tasted this wine before, that is the 2000 vintage. Normally the 2004 should be better than the 2000, but this wine we did like the 2000 more.

The wine is full-bodied with tastes of cherry and plum and finish of with a nice oaky character.

Have you tasted this or another wine, you are welcome to add a dice/review in our wine guide
