A tight, focused red with blackcurrants, minerals and some fresh-herb character, such as sage. Medium body, tight and firm tannins and a flavorful finish. Just a hint of wood at the end. Blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and sangiovese. From organically grown grapes. Unfiltered. Drink in 2021.
When the natural environment is as enchanting as it is around Bolgheri, let's face it, the winemaker's task is easier. Pay attention, though. Easier does not mean simple or that skills are not needed to get good results. Fortunately, there is no shortage of skills within the Chiappini Winery, which in fact always manages to get the best from the fruit it cultivates with passion in the company's beautiful vineyards. And so, with a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and just a touch of Sangiovese to remind us that in Tuscany it is the undisputed king, Felciaino was born, a Bolgheri Rosso characterized by a beautiful intense ruby red color. With a bouquet dominated by juicy red fruit, there is no shortage of spice notes that make it complex and varied. On the palate it is structured and balanced. A good wine today, no doubt, but with great evolutionary potential. Our advice? A bottle on the table today and one in the cellar waiting for the right occasion.
The history of the Chiappini Winery starts in the Marche region, the land of origin of Giovanni (Chiappini) and reaches Tuscany, in the beautiful Bolgheri, which has been home since the 1950s. The plan was to open a small farming business. This goal has been achieved and surpassed, given that today the winery that bears this name is a more than consolidated business, capable of producing elegant wines appreciated by wine lovers in different parts of the world. Today Giovanni is joined by his daughters Martina and Lisa. There are a total of 27 hectares of land owned. Of these, 15 are vineyards from which about 80,000 bottles of wine are produced each year. The varieties cultivated are those that distinguish the area. So it is mainly international grape varieties, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot in clear majority. However, there is also a small part with a proudly Tuscan heart, with the ever-present Sangiovese and the always pleasant Vermentino.
