Cafaggio

Available in: Canada, North America, Asia Pacific

Nestled between 300 and 400 meters above sea level, Cafaggio sits pretty in Tuscany’s golden amphitheater—the Conca d’Oro of Panzano in Chianti. The name says it all: “golden shell” or “golden bowl,” this natural sun-trap is every grape’s dream vacation spot. Here, organic vineyards stretch across 60 hectares of galestro-rich soils, where the roots dig deep and the wines climb high.

It’s not just geography—it’s geometry, geology, and a touch of magic. The steep, sun-facing slopes, ancient limestone and sandstone layers, and rich biodiversity all converge to create wines of serious elegance and longevity. Think Chianti Classico with muscle and grace, Cabernet Sauvignon with Italian soul.

Cafaggio’s not flying solo either—it’s part of the Unione Viticoltori di Panzano, a collective of like-minded winemakers raising the bar for the entire region. Their commitment to organic farming and classic style makes them a leading voice in Chianti’s modern story. This is where tradition lives, and innovation quietly thrives under the Tuscan sun.

Did you know?

Cafaggio’s iconic Riserva, Basilica San Martino, tips its hat to a local church in the nearby hamlet of Cecione. Long before it was a wine estate, Cafaggio was a monastic farm, where friars tended vines and olives—planting the seeds (literally) for what would become one of Chianti’s most cherished wineries.
