About This Wine (Staff Pick!)
Tenuta di Capraia Effe 55 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2019 is a serious, estate-driven expression of Sangiovese that reflects both site and intent. Drawn from select hillside vineyards in Chianti Classico, the wine shows deep concentration without excess, opening with aromas of black cherry, wild berries, dried herbs, and subtle violet, layered with hints of tobacco, spice, and crushed stone. On the palate it is structured and poised, with firm yet polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, savory finish that speaks to careful vineyard work and extended aging. This is Chianti at its most refined and age-worthy—powerful but never heavy, traditional in soul yet precise in execution. Adding to its credibility, the winemaker is an active member of the Consorzio Vino Chianti Classico, underscoring a deep commitment to the appellation, its standards, and its future.
