The story behind Cappone
Chianti Classico is the historic heart of Chianti, the Tuscan red built on Sangiovese. By law it comes from the Classico zone between Florence and Siena, and it must be at least 80 percent Sangiovese. Expect bright cherry, dried herb, a little earth and a firm, savory grip rather than heavy oak.
