Paolo Cianferoni (with the help of his sons) is making a concerted push for top winery in Chianti Classico. Considering the form of recent vintages, I’d say you can pick out a handful or peer estates that are in Paolo’s lofty orbit, but only a handful. What you have here is certified organic high elevation Sangiovese from a small family farm that can age for two decades. Is it the best Sangiovese on earth?"The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Caparsino is a super classic wine from Paolo Cianferoni. Dark and resonant, with striking aromatic dimension, the Caparsino has so much going on. Wild cherry, tobacco, kirsch, spice and blood orange build as the 2018 gains aromatic breadth with a bit of time. The 2018 is a stunner, but it needs time to truly open.” - Vinous
