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.

This pure Sangiovese comes from the «Viticciana» vineyard.

This vineyard, commissioned by our father Ugo Contini Bonacossi, was designed and built by him.

It has the characteristic of having the rows interrupted by two "giropoggio" roads, in counter-slope, which channel the rainwater and avoid the erosion of the precious earth.

The rows are embellished with rose plants chosen by him and lovingly watered in summer. Perfect exposure. The grapes are harvested by hand.

VINIFICATION: steel tanks. 7 days of alcoholic fermentation followed by another 13 days of maceration with the skins before racking.

AGING: in the bottle for at least 8 months.

COLOR: Intense ruby ​​red

BOUQUET: Wide, elegant, persistent, fruity with spicy notes.

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.

Alcohol content: 14%

Cabernet Sauvignon 50%, Merlot 25%, Syrah 25%.
