Oro Bianco is Capannelle's rare, magnum-only Chardonnay bottling, produced along the same lines as the estate's standard Chardonnay but vinified and aged entirely in stainless steel and released in extremely limited quantities — as few as 600 magnums in some vintages.
A steel-only sibling to the standard Chardonnay, bottled almost as a limited-edition curiosity — worth seeking out for magnum-format celebrations.
New to wine?
Not an everyday bottle — its magnum-only, limited-run format makes it a collector's curiosity rather than a starting point.
Food Pairings
Best suited to celebratory seafood spreads, oysters, and creamy shellfish pasta given its scale and steel-only freshness.
When to drink it
Large celebratory gatherings, milestone toasts, collector's cellar additions
Terroir & Winemaking
100% Chardonnay from Capannelle's estate vineyards, vinified and aged entirely in stainless steel (unlike the standard Chardonnay bottling, which uses partial barrique aging) and bottled exclusively in magnum format in very limited volumes.

- How is Oro Bianco different from Capannelle's standard Chardonnay?
- Oro Bianco is vinified and aged entirely in stainless steel with no barrique, and is bottled exclusively in magnum format in very limited quantities.
- Why is it only available in magnum?
- Capannelle produces Oro Bianco as a small, limited-edition bottling intended for special, large-format celebratory pours rather than everyday sale.
- Is Oro Bianco easy to find?
- No — production is very limited (as few as 600 magnums in some vintages), so it is harder to source than Capannelle's standard Chardonnay.
