After a deep analysis of the area and soil, a new vineyard of 3.5 hectares was planted, using only local grapes such as Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino and Malvasia while 2 more hectares were planted with olive trees.
While the villa was undergoing rennovation. Rossetti decided to create a proper tasting room with original furniture including a masterpiece, a 6-meter-long table, and a new modern kitchen where famous chefs have since been pairing traditional and innovative recipes with Capannelle wines. A modern cellar was also built with cutting-edge technologies.
The first label was released in 1975: a table Wine named simply Capannelle. Despite its “simplicity”, this wine conquered the critics and gained market attention, becoming a symbol of quality, thanks to a careful management of vineyards and the use of modern technologies in the cellar. French oak barrels were introduced for wine ageing in 1977, creating a style which would become a must in just a few years. White wine making was approached in 1986 and in 1988 Capannelle released its first white wine, a Chardonnay fermented and aged in barrel.
