Description
 
Wine producer in Gaiole in Chianti, Siena, extends over about 20 hectares (16 of Vineyard) and produces about 80.000 bottles of wine a year. Situated in the heart of the Gaiole in Chianti hillsides, the Capannelle winery has been one of the most interesting realities on the Italian wine market since 1975. The owner is James B. Sherwood. The history of Capannelle wine producing dates back to 1974,when Raffaele Rossetti, a 40 year old business man in Rome, decided to purchase an old XVI century farmhouse in the heart of Chianti. The pride of the cellar is the Caveau, realized insteel with modern systems of control for emperature and humidity.

The estate’s 2001 Solare is an earthy, brooding wine endowed with masses of sweet dark fruit, blackberries, leather and underbrush. It is a plump, engaging wine that offers notable length on the palate and gorgeous overall balance. The tannins build on the finish, so a minimum of another few years of bottle age seems prudent. This remains an extraordinarily backward wine considering its age. It is another great effort from Capanelle. Solare is 80% Sangiovese and 20% Malvasia Nera that spends at least two years in French oak. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2021. Wine Advocate 92
