Wines
From their 30 hectars of vineyards, the Counts Capponi produce wines
internationally recognised and enjoyed since the beginning of the 20th
century.
However, the products of Villa Calcinaia were already well
known since the 16th century, as proven by documents in the family
archive.
Comitale IGT
The white grapes of the estate, Grechetto and Vernaccia, straight from the freshest vineyards of the estate, are hand-picked and passed through a soft-pressure press. The must are clarified prior to the beginning of the fermentation, which happens in a small, temperature controlled tank, and with the help of natural yeasts. The bottling is done during the winter months following the harvest. The colour of the wine is straw-yellow, with shades of green, a fruity bouquet due to the various perfumes of the grapes; well balanced to the taste, with a good acidity level, good in its flavour and aftertaste. It is advisable to combine this wine with fish, or white meat dishes.
