Villa Cafaggio

Basilica Del Cortaccio Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Nose is reticent but what is there is on the weedy side. There’s also some pungent minerality, with some nice cassis fruit struggling to peek through. Deep and savory in the mouth, with very nice acids keeping things youthful-feeling. Still a fair amount of very fine tannin. This reminds me of a good Listrac. Still has years to go. — 10 days ago

Single Estate Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2020

Pale ruby in color; cherries, potpourri, and dried herbs on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like red currants, raspberries, dried flowers, and clay pots with a long finish. — 9 days ago

Basilica Cafaggio (Marks & Spencer)

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2020

I have no idea why @Delectable Wine puts “Marks & Spencer,” which I think is a British retailer, in the ID of this wine. Anyway, it’s a characterful wine. Very dark color for a Chianti Classico. It’s got an interesting nose of black cherry, a substantial tomato leaf note, leather, and rocky gravel. Rather energetic in the mouth, with deep, dark cherry, that turns savory and minerally very quickly. A bit more soft tannin than many annatas, and zesty acids. Lot of bang for the buck here. — 6 months ago
