TENUTA CAPPELLINA

IGT TOSCANA ROSSO 2019

Casa del Capo is our everyday "Supertuscan".

2019 was a very balanced vintage. The summer was nearly tropical, with thunderstorms almost daily in August, bringing water to a hot, but not scorching summer. The vineyards looked almost like a forest, with the vibrant vigor of our microclimate exponentially increasing, requiring several trimmings of the vines' tops and sides.

A slight initial delay in ripening gave way to a sudden increase in sugar levels, which meant we had to harvest everything quickly.

Wonderfully fresh and drinkable with smooth tannins and an aromatic touch, it's main feature is the wonderful Sangiovese red-cherry fruit which makes you want to gulp one sip after another!
