Capezzana

The goal of relaunching the Trebbiano grape in Tuscany, considered too often as a blend variety, has often been a fixed thought for Ugo Contini Bonacossi. The project to produce a 100% Trebbiano that was able to rise over time became a reality in 2000, with the first vintage of this wine.
From a mass selection, a short pruning, a severe green harvest and a late harvest, we obtain a very rich must, which ferments and refines in tonneaux, acquires elegant secondary aromas and lends itself to a long aging.

TASTE: Impalpable and poignant, refined but strong as he was, baroque in the scents suddenly even affected, innate elegance of Bulgarian roses, face powder, red fruits, mustard and cardamom, mint and Kentucky tobacco, in the mouth with spicy but silky tannins and sweet with a solar and luminous energy as was his very long and proud life as a noble farmer.
