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.

This is an expansive and generous blend of Sangiovese and a smaller part Malvasia Nera from the Gaiole in Chianti subzone where wines tend to show a more wild or untamed personality. The 2013 Solare offers a distinctive bouquet that gives more prominence to savory tones of tobacco, cigar ash and Asian spice. There is plenty of primary fruit at its core, and it recalls dark plum or sun-dried cherry. This vintage shows extra focus and sharpness with spots of tannic astringency. It is poised to withstand a 10-year drinking window or longer. Wine Advocate 94
