Capannelle

Capannelle: Tuscan elegance between Chianti Classico and Toscana IGT

The Capannelle collection gathers some of the most representative labels of a historic reality in Gaiole in Chianti, in the heart of Tuscany, which is most suited for great viticulture. Here, wine is born from a coherent project, capable of uniting territorial identity, artisanal care, and a limited production that includes characterful reds, a grappa, and magnum versions designed for the table and special occasions.

The Capannelle estate extends over about twenty hectares, of which sixteen are vineyards, with an annual production of around 80,000 bottles. It is a recognizable name for those seeking structured, refined Tuscan wines with a strong personality, from the expressions of Chianti Classico to more modern interpretations like Solare and white labels such as Chardonnay.

The profile of Capannelle wines

The Capannelle labels present in this selection show an interesting balance between tradition and contemporary style. The Chianti Classico Riserva expresses the most classic soul of the denomination, with a structure designed to accompany flavorful dishes and local cuisine. Solare and its various vintages, including Solare 2013, Solare 2016, and Solare 2018, instead tell of a Toscana IGT red with a broader and more international profile, with a personality suitable for those seeking an intense and gastronomic red.

Alongside the reds, the collection also includes Chardonnay 2018 Toscana IGT and Chardonnay Oro Bianco 2018 in magnum format, an interesting choice for those desiring an elegant and versatile white. Completing the proposal is the Grappa di Chianti Classico Riserva Capannelle, ideal as a digestif or as a gift idea for enthusiasts.

Territory and identity: Gaiole in Chianti

Capannelle was born in Gaiole in Chianti, a symbol area of Chianti Classico, where the landscape and microclimate contribute to defining wines of great finesse. The history of the winery began in 1974, when Raffaele Rossetti purchased an ancient 17th-century farmhouse in the heart of Chianti. Later, the property passed to James B. Sherwood, an entrepreneur linked to the Orient-Express Hotels LTD. group, now synonymous with excellence and attention to detail.

This identity is reflected in a carefully curated production that enhances the territory without sacrificing a recognizable style. For those seeking Chianti wines capable of standing out, Capannelle represents an authoritative and coherent choice.
