Sangiovese is the main grape in Caparsa, wich is located in Radda in Chianti area, maybe one of the most charming and beautiful areas in the world and one of the highest quality wines production areas too. Caparsa wines have a unique and unmistakable acid tone, where the bouquet and the tannins come out at their authentic terroir.
Caparsa's philosophy can be simplified in one single word: tradition. The wine culture is hand down since the sharecropping system, when the wine was considered like food and complementary to food. That’s why the healthiness of all their productive processes and the wine itself is the best characteristic and expression of Caparsa's philosphy.
Healthiness means quality. Particularly, it's the territory that gives originality to all Caparsa's products: flora, fauna, insects, fungal, microorganisms, soils, weather conditions, fields exposure etc together with workers and Paolo himself, all of this make the wine unique.
