Tasting profile (AI-generated)

Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry

A classic expression of Chianti Classico Riserva, built on Sangiovese's trademark high acidity and firm structure, with dried cherry and leather at its core alongside earthy, herbal notes that speak to the Panzano area where Cafaggio's vineyards sit. Extended aging gives the Basilica Solatio a drier, more austere profile than the estate's standard releases, with tannins that firm up the finish and reward time in the glass. A traditional, food-friendly Tuscan red that will continue to soften and integrate with a few more years of cellaring.

Serving: Serve at 15–17 °C.
