Description
Organic still white wine from Tuscany, 13.5% ABV, produced by Capezzana. Blend of Trebbiano, 2024 vintage. A wine born from the passion of a historic Carmignano winery, where wine has been made since the Middle Ages. The Contini Bonacossi family has tended the estate since 1925, developing an increasingly enlightened approach to agriculture, now certified organic. Alcoholic fermentation, lasting approximately 10 days, is carried out 50% in stainless steel tanks at 18°C and the other 50% in barriques and tonneaux. Aged 50% in barriques and 50% in tonneaux for 6 months. Aged 6 months in bottle. Almond, yellow wildflowers, vanilla. Straw yellow with golden highlights. Intense and harmonious with delicate tannins, this wine appears ethereal and balanced in its soft elegance, with a complex and persistent aftertaste.

The vine was already cultivated in Etruscan times, about 3,000 years ago, as shown by the wine containers found among the numerous finds. Then came the Roman era: it was written that the same names of some wineries would derive from Roman names of the era of Silla, when the area was divided and given to veterans; Capezzana would take the name of one of these, Capitus.
In the Florence state archives we found a parchment dated 804: it is a lease contract which documents how already 1200 years ago in Capezzana oil and wine were produced. In the 20s of the last century the Contini Bonacossi family bought Capezzana. Currently the management of the company belongs to Count Ugo's sons, who have divided the tasks in the company: Benedetta works in the cellar in close contact with Vittorio, who also takes care of the wine sector together with his son Gaddo; Filippo takes care of the production of oil and the financial part and Beatrice is the commercial and marketing manager of the company, assisted by her niece Serena. Currently the company has a total area of ??670 hectares, of which over 90 are vineyards and 140 are olive groves.
Capezzana is located in the north of Tuscany, in the municipality of Carmignano, in the province of Prato, 20 km from Florence, between the Montalbano and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. This explains the particularity of its microclimate: in summer the days are hot and followed by cool nights and the rainfall is well distributed throughout the year. Read more
