About this wine
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.
A friendly, food-versatile white — fresh enough for everyday drinking but with enough texture to feel special.
Sommelier's Note

ソラーレ
Solare
RedSangiovese · Malvasia Nera
First released in 1996 following a collaboration begun in 1990 with Giorgio Pinchiorri of Florence's legendary Enoteca Pinchiorri, Solare is one of the original Super Tuscans to pair Sangiovese with an aromatic minority variety. A blend of roughly 80% Sangiovese and 20% Malvasia Nera, it undergoes fermentation in Slovenian oak vats, around 18 months in French barrique, and further bottle aging before release.

Chardonnay Oro Bianco
WhiteChardonnay

ロザート
Rosato
RoséSangiovese
Capannelle's Rosato is an unusually structured rosé made entirely from Sangiovese, distinguished by roughly 18 months of barrique aging — an approach that gives it more depth and texture than typical rosé wines while retaining a fresh, pale pink hue.
