| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\nTenuta di Capraia Riserva is a deep ruby red wine. Its complex and sophisticated aroma reminds of fruits on a first step, gradually opening up and displaying spices and liquorice. On the palate it is fleshy, harmonious and full-bodied, with a long persistence.\r\nFood Pairing - An excellent pairing with roast meat, game and aged cheeses.\r\nVinous 96 Points \r\nRobert Parker 92 Points \r\nWine Spectator 92 Points \r\nJames Suckling 91 Points\r\nAbout Tenuta Di Capraia\r\nThe \u201cTenute Cal\u00ec\u201d wine group is the fruit of our family\u2019s passion for agriculture, good wine and outstanding products. It is the result of our ambition to continuously improve quality through experience obtained from harvest to harvest.\r\nIn 1981, fascinated by its beauty and history, we bought one of the most ancient and noble Chianti Classico estates: Rocca di Castagnoli in Gaiole in Chianti. A farm that first belonged to the Tempi family, who enlarged it in 1730, then to Baron Ricasoli until the \u201850s. With this first acquisition, we began to implement our company mission: to create unique wines that are recognizable by their typical characteristics and respect for the surrounding area.\r\nA few years later, in 2004, we decided to return to the place where our surname has its roots, Sicily, to one of the most artistic and suitable wine areas, thanks to its beautiful Baroque heritage and to the generosity of its land. The Graffetta estate is located between Noto and Modica, home to the Baroque style and Nero d\u2019Avola. \u201cWe were born as farmers and vine growers who know the land and the local area. Love for the land and work in the vineyard has been part of our lives for generations. Experience, dedication over the years and hard work then taught us the art of wine-making.\u201d\r\nProud of the work done so far, we decided to extend our presence in Tuscany and in 2005 we bought Poggio Maestrino in the Municipality of Magliano on the Maremma Coast, after falling in love with the beauty of the coast and the excellent quality of Morellino di Scansano. With this same passion we have continued the hard work of the wine-growers for almost forty years, captivated by the beauty and charm that only wine areas can boast. |
