Founded in 1865 the estate covers 25ha of vineyards between 270-310m in elevation. At the core of the winery's philosophy has been a commitment to 100% indigenous Tuscan varieties with a focus on Sangiovese based wines. Recently, that philosophy has also welcomed organic viticulture (official in 2011) and a new focus on quality.

This red starts out smooth, displaying ripe black cherry and plum flavors, along with earth, iron and woodsy elements. Gains power as this builds on the palate, ending in an extended aftertaste of loam, iron and wild herb accents. Best from 2023 through 2045. 3,300 cases made, 250 cases imported. — BS

The 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Capannino is another impressive wine in this range. Rich and beguiling, the Gran Selezione brings out darker inflections of Sangiovese. Black cherry, leather, lavender, espresso and spice all develop effortlessly. With air, the 2016 can be enjoyed now, but it clearly has the substance to age well for years to come.
