At Capannelle high technology rhymes with quality

The soul of Capannelle, which overlooks Gaiole in Chianti from the top of the hill, is 3 meters below the ground, where a 1000 mq cellar guards the wine production.

Steel Technology

Wine is a product resulting from a technical process. Thus, to make a great wine is necessary to use high technology – along with perfect grapes. This is the reason why we at Capannelle have decided to use steel vat during the fermentation, since this material is neutral and does not modify wine aromas. Fermentation vats are made of inox steel, like all the other vats and level valve connection pipes.

Bottle Ageing

After a long barrel ageing, wines require also a long bottle ageing in order to balance body components and aromas. Sangiovese in particular needs 8-10 years to become ripe enough. After ageing in oak barrels of different size, Capannelle wines are aged as well in bottle before being released on the market. Bottle ageing is carried out in Capannelle cellar where rows of bottles lie down, accurately separated by double crystal walls according to the kind of wine and vintage. The temperature and humidity of the storage room are constantly controlled in order to guarantee the best quality in wine.

Barrel Ageing

We have decided to use Slavonian oak conical trunk vat of different sizes and French oak barrel of 225 litres each. Our barrique are used for maximum 3 years and are used to age Solare, 50&50 and our Chardonnay.

CAPANNELLE

The story of the winery Capannelle started in 1974 when the businessman Raffaele Rossetti moved to an ‘600 century old villa surrounded by 10,5 ha of land in Gaiole in Chianti, historical subzone where the Chianti Classico was born.
