Ipsus 2016 from Il Caggio shows Sangiovese in a serious, sculpted mood, layering pure red and black cherry with notes of blackcurrant, blood orange peel, dried flowers and subtle wood smoke over a spine of crushed stone and herbal nuance. The palate is full-bodied yet finely etched, with vibrant, crunchy acidity and tightly woven, polished tannins that drive a very long, focused finish, promising further complexity with time in bottle.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina; Pappardelle with wild boar ragù; Herb-crusted lamb racks

Ipsus is Il Caggio’s single‑vineyard Chianti Classico Gran Selezione (Mazzei family) — a 100% Sangiovese from a 6.5‑ha enclave at 310–361 m on clay‑schist, calcareous marl and alberese soils. It shows focused red‑berry and blood‑orange fruit framed by violet, rose and herbal notes, fine silky tannins and a long savory finish, built for aging while expressing a clear sense of its Il Caggio terroir.
