Basilica del Pruneto is an unblended Merlot wine obtained from growing a small 1.9-hectare vineyard on clay soil overlooking the “Conca d'Oro” (Golden Basin). The soil of this vineyard proved best suited to enhance the characteristics of this French grape variety. Vinified at a controlled temperature, Basilica del Pruneto matures for 18 months, equally, in French Tronçais and Allier oak barriques, within which malolactic fermentation also takes place.
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.
