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.
Barrique-aged rosé is rare for good reason — most grapes can't take the structure without losing freshness. Capannelle's Sangiovese pulls it off.
New to wine?
A great pick for rosé drinkers ready to try something with more depth — still refreshing, but with unexpected structure.
Food Pairings
Versatile with semi-soft cheeses, raw fish preparations like crudo and sushi, grilled rabbit, and light pizza.

Terroir & Winemaking
