WINE MAKING PROCESS
Rosso di Caparsa is produced using 100% Sangiovese grapes from the estate's high-altitude vineyards in Radda in Chianti. The winemaking process emphasizes natural methods, including spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in cement vats for approximately 12 days. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes maturation for 18 to 36 months exclusively in cement tanks, a technique chosen to maintain the purity of fruit and acidity without oak influence. The wine is then given a rough filtration before bottling. The estate adheres to certified organic practices throughout its viticulture and cellar operations.
