Villa Cafaggio covers about 60 hectares, of which 30 are cultivated as vineyards and about 3 as olive groves. The rest is woodland. Located in the hamlet of Greve in Chianti, in Panzano the estate is nestled in the “Conca d'Or” an area recognised as the best zone for producing Chianti Classico.
Harvested by hand in the first 10 days of October, alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, breaking and moistening of the cap from waste by manual punching and pumping over in air, long maceration after alcohol with the cap submerged, spontaneous malolactic fermentation.
The wine matures for 30 months in medium-sized Slavonian oak barrels. Further aging in cement tanks for 12 months and in bottle for 6 months before release.
