Capannelle's Chardonnay is made from hand-picked estate grapes, fermented primarily in stainless steel to preserve freshness, with roughly 20% aged in new French barrique for about 10 months to add texture. The result is a dry, aromatic white with notes of white flowers, tropical fruit, and a mineral edge.
Proof that Capannelle's precision extends beyond Sangiovese — a Chardonnay with real Burgundian ambition from the heart of Chianti.
