6.8.23 | Tastemaker Dinner with Sebastiano Capponi of Villa Calcinaia
Villa Calcinaia is one of Chianti Classico’s most historic estates, founded in 1524. Located in the center of Chianti Classico in Greve, Conti Capponi Villa Calcinaia has been farming organically since 1997, with an extensive history of farming not only sangiovese but also incredible olive trees. In line with the other greatest producers of the region, Villa Calcinaia’s Chianti Classicos are 100% Sangiovese. What makes them unique is the dry, foursquare structure and long lived quality of Greve. The longevity of the wines at Villa Calcinaia is astounding and a testament to the nobility of the variety. Each single vineyard at the property is bottled now as Gran Selezione, expressive of the site it comes from. For this dinner, we will explore a wide array of the estate’s great Sangiovese from the current release 2019 Chianti Classico to 2009 Chianti Classico Riserva to each Single Vineyard Gran Selezione from three great vintages: 2019, 2017 and 2016. Lastly we will finish with Villa Calcinaia’s exceptional Vin Santo. This will be a night in Greve with Sebastiano Capponi not to be missed.
