Villa Calcinaia celebrated its 500th anniversary last year. Representing the 37th generation, Count Sebastiano Capponi is the only one in his family to have managed the estate first-hand. The style is well-honed and unmistakable in this 2022. Top notes of pepper and struck stone make way for a blast of blackberry and raspberry. There is a lightness and crunch to the palate as the fruit pops with purity and energy, and chalky minerals add dimension. Very mouth cleansing and easy to drink. 91 points, Decanter.
