Villa Cafaggio
ヴィッラ・カファッジォ
Historic Conca d'Oro estate famed for elegant Sangiovese.
Villa Cafaggio is a historic Chianti Classico estate in the Conca d'Oro ('golden basin') of Panzano in Chianti, with documented history dating back to 1408. Neglected for decades, the property was revived from 1967 by the Farkas family, who replanted the vineyards and olive groves over three decades of harvests; since 2016 it has been owned by ISA S.p.A. The estate's 100% Sangiovese Chianti Classico is aged in large Slavonian oak casks and shows the austere, structured character typical of Panzano fruit, while its flagship cru, Cortaccio, is a single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon celebrated for its garnet depth and blackcurrant intensity. Villa Cafaggio remains a benchmark for both traditional Sangiovese and internationally-styled Tuscan reds.
