Vinum: 97 Punkte

Eine Super-Gran Selezione der Familie Mazzei, produziert auf dem nur diesem Wein gewidmeten Gut Caggio bei Castellina: Betörend-vielschichtige Fruchtaromatik, Noten von Veilchen, Lakritze und Gewürzen; überaus geschliffen im Mund, die Gerbstoffe feinkörnig, die Säure vif, ellenlang und facettenreich der komplexe Abgang, lässt aber auch Leichtigkeit nicht vermissen.

Unmistakably Chianti Classico in its light and translucent colour, ferrous and animal touches overlay a hypnotising array of kirsch, sandalwood, tobacco and damp earth, with a subtle cinnamon and roasted coffee frame. Blood orange and iron dominate a concentrated yet staggeringly bright mouthfeel. Youthfully clenching tannins underpin crunchy red cherries, undergrowth and seamlessly interwoven balsamic oak, loosening their grip in a munificent finish. Spontaneous fermentation was followed by ageing in a mix of new French and Austrian oak tonneaux, 500 hL casks and ceramic vats for 24 months. Total production amounted to 4,618 bottles in this vintage.

The 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Ipsus is gorgeous. Cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, mint, dried flowers, spice and blood orange open first in the aromatics. Layered and quite broad, the 2020 exudes class. About 40% of the lots saw submerged-cap maceration, which added a sense of classicism. There is also an element of exoticism that is palpable. Pretty floral and savory overtones reappear on the finish. This such a distinctive wine.

Unique aromas of hibiscus, cherries, violets, sandalwood and lychees. Subtle and complex. Full-bodied with very fine tannins that caress your mouth and leave a creamy impression. The tannins melt into the wine. Peach, citrus and cherry character at the end. It’s intensely fruity yet extremely refined and poised. A superb Chianti Classico. Gorgeous to drink now, but will be even better from 2027. (05/2024)

A core of cherry and raspberry fruit is framed by vanilla and resin notes in this intense red. Floral, iron and tobacco accents add depth and complexity, while the supple texture eventually gives way to dense tannins on the long aftertaste. Rides a line between power and elegance. The terrific length reveals its potential. Best from 2026 through 2042. - Bruce Sanderson (11/2024)

Parker – Wine Advocate

This is a special limited-production project imagined by the Mazzei family in Castellina in Chianti. This noble clan owns some of the area's most promising vineyards, including the legendary, forest-lined Siepi. Not too far way is the spine of a hill that extends over to the Sangiovese vines used to make this wine. The Caggio 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Ipsus is engineered to produce fruit brightness, freshness and transparency. The wine succeeds each year I have tasted it (with the first vintage being 2015), but I think special props should be given in a vintage like 2020, which veered toward the warm side of the spectrum. Indeed, Ipsus offers primary fruit first and foremost; however, hints of smoke and light spice also appear. There is cherry versus cumin seed or cassis versus cardamom. The wine shows good fruit weight and length, despite its elegant frame. - Monica Larner (07/2024)
