Wine Box of 6 white and rosé wines, 2 per label

Trebbiano 2019

Severe green harvest and late harvest, a very rich must is obtained, which ferments and refines in tonneaux, acquires elegant secondary aromas and lends itself to long aging. On the nose, almond, yellow wild flowers, vanilla. In the mouth it is intense with delicate tannins, with a complex and persistent aftertaste.

Chardonnay 2019

Enveloping and fruity, with notes of tropical fruit, banana, pineapple and then white and yellow flowers. Soft on the mouth with alcohol elegantly balanced with the structure of the wine. Long and persistent.

Ruspo di Carmignano 2020 wine, Sangiovese, Cabernet and Canaiolo

Brief contact with the skins still gives it a beautiful rosé color even though it comes from red grapes such as Sangiovese, Cabernet and Canaiolo. Hints of small red fruits on the palate, then floral notes of violet and rose. Soft, with a good balance between freshness and intensity on the palate. Long fruity finish.

Carmignano (Italy)

In Carmignano the vine has been present for more than 3000 years. Wine vases and tasting cups found in Etruscan tombs are clear evidence of such ancient viticulture in this area. A parchment was also found in the state archives of Florence which documents how vines and olive groves were cultivated in Capezzana as early as the 9th century AD.

From the Renaissance onwards various families took turns owning the estate built in 1475 by Monna Nera Bonaccorsi: Cantucci, Marchesi Bourbon del Monte, Adimari Morelli, Franchetti Rothschild ending with the Contini Bonacossi, the current owners, 1920.

Subsequently, Count Alessandro Contini Bonacossi expanded the property with the purchase, from the Marquis Aman Niccolini, of two nearby farms, “Il Poggetto” and “Trefiano”.

Thus was born the Tenuta di Capezzana, divided into 3 farms and more than 120 farms, dedicated to the production of high quality wine and oil. Alessandro’s passion for collecting led him to conserve bottles, so that today Capezzana can boast a collection of historic vintages starting from 1925.

Over the decades the estate has seen five generations of winemakers, and in 2009 a virtuous path of organic practices in the vineyard began, now certified.

Mechanization is limited to the control of wild herbs, so chemical herbicides are not used. We also continue to use the ancient practice of green manure with the sowing of legumes and grasses in alternate rows. A natural way to enrich the soil with nitrogen. Certain that we are leaving fertile land and not a mountain of poisoned and sterile plastic for future generations. So not “Integrated Control” (don’t be fooled, they involve pesticides, chemistry in the vineyard), but rather “Integrated Respect.”
