Vin Santo di Carmignano DOC Riserva 2013, Trebbiano, San Colombano

Awarded as best Italian sweet wine. It is produced in small quantities from Trebbiano and San Colombano grapes, chosen from the ripest of the vineyards registered in the Carmignano Register and left to dry on mats until February, according to the traditional method. The must is then placed in casks for at least five years. The yield is very low: from 1/4 to 1/5 of the original weight of the grapes. After bottling, Vinsanto can be aged without time limits, still gaining richness and aroma. Very complex on the nose, fruity, with notes of dried and candied fruit, apricot and orange peel, then floral puffs of yellow flowers. Consistent to the taste, sweet, soft and opulent, very long and caramelized 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.”
