    The essence of chance. There are wines that are only created when the stars are right – and Essenza from Fattoria Kappa is one of them. In the language of physics, Kappa means the constant, but at this extraordinary winery on the border between Bolgheri and Maremma, chance reigns supreme. Only in exceptional years, when the Cabernet Franc grapes reach their full ripeness and complexity, is this rare cru produced – a venture that only a few winegrowers in Tuscany dare to take.

    Sparkling ruby colour with slightly brightening edges announces its mature elegance. The nose opens with a density and urgency that leaves even experienced tasters speechless – blackcurrants and preserved cherries merge with a tobacco symphony of rare complexity. Those vegetal and balsamic notes of eucalyptus that make Tuscan Cabernet Franc so incomparable unfold without shame or restraint. On the palate, the true greatness of this wine is revealed: juicy, perfectly worked out fruit meets a tannin network of seemingly endless layers. The grippy but never dominant tannin framework carries the wine to a final of firm pressure and mineral depth. It is that "golosis" – that Italian lust for life and drinking –that tempts you to reach for the next one from the very first sip. Produced in small batches of just a few hundred bottles, Essenza epitomises the spirit of Fattoria Kappa: visionary, uncompromising and trusting in chance. A Riserva quality wine that proves that sometimes the greatest risks bring the greatest rewards. SUPERIORE.DE
