Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva (made with 100% Sangiovese and aged in tonneaux and botte for 18 months) is elegant in approach with a tight, streamlined style that feels balanced and fresh. The bouquet is redolent of cherry, blue flower and white mineral. It takes a soft, delicate approach to the palate.

• James Suckling: A pretty nose of cherries and red plums with oregano and earth undertones. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and fresh acidity. Juicy, bright core of fruit on the mid-palate and a supple finish. From organically grown grapes.

Producer Information

The “Tenute Calì” wine group is the fruit of our family’s 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. In 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 ‘50s. 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. A 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’Avola. “We 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.” Proud 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.
