Caparsa 2011 Chianti Classico "Caparsino" Riserva 750ml

The Caparsino is made from a selection of new/better performing Sangiovese clones.  It is 100% Sangiovese fermented using wild yeasts.  It ages in 18 hectoliters vats for two and a half years without filtration.  Vines grow at 450 meters above sea level.  2011 was a warm growing season (not as dry as 2009) that yielded more structured wines, the elevation here contributes to its backbone of freshness.
