THE COMPANY

Purchased in 1965 by Reginaldo Cianferoni, professor at the University of Florence, today Caparsa is one of the most interesting realities in Radda, zone of Chianti Classico. Paolo, son of Reginaldo, is maybe one of the last “vigneron” and his work in the vineyard is expressed in wines with a unique and unmistakable acidity and powerful aromas and tannins. His wines are ‘personal’ and authentic. Sometimes, at first taste, they may seem ‘rustic,’ but then, with time, they express the great elegance and strength of the Radda terroir, which, among the municipalities of the appellation, is the one that offers tense and long-lived wines.
