Capannelle Solare is an iconic wine produced by the renowned Gaiole in Chianti winery. This prestigious wine is a blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Malvasia Nera, obtained from grapes grown in the estate’s vineyards, which extend for 10.5 hectares.<\/p>\n
Solare has an intense ruby \u200b\u200bred color with garnet reflections. On the nose, it offers a complex and persistent bouquet of undergrowth, musk, vanilla, almond, plum and magnolia flower. On the palate, it is velvety and full-bodied, with well-balanced acidity, soft tannins and a warm, persistent finish. This wine is perfect to accompany game, braised and roasted meats, and mature cheeses.<\/p>\n
The history of the Capannelle agricultural company began in 1974 when the entrepreneur Raffaele Rossetti moved to an old seventeenth-century farmhouse surrounded by 10.5 hectares of land in Gaiole in Chianti, the birthplace of Chianti Classico wine.
\nAfter careful analysis, work begins on a new 3.5 hectare planting of specialized vineyards with native grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino and Malvasia nera. Two hectares are designed to host the olive grove.<\/p>\n
The farmhouse is renovated and brought back to its former glory with skilful structural and restoration interventions. Among the new features, the introduction of a new kitchen, where renowned chefs combine Capannelle wines with their creations and a large tasting room, characterized by a 6 meter long 17th century fratina.
\nUnder the farmhouse, a very modern cellar is also set up with stainless steel connections and pipes that are cutting edge for the technology of the time.<\/p>\n
In 1997 Capannelle was purchased by James B. Sherwood, founder of Orient-Express Hotels, Trains & Cruises (now the Belmond group) with the aim of developing the company’s growth potential, as well as its presence on international markets.<\/p>\n
Today the company covers a total of 35 hectares of which 16 are intended for vineyards, from which 5 types of wine are born, the quality of which is constantly monitored by Simone Monciatti, Capannelle’s winemaker since 1984.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
