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.
Casarsa IGT
A Supertuscan made mainly from Merlot grapes and a blend of local varieties following a pattern which may vary from one vintage to another. The organoleptic analysis of wine, most of which is aged for 18 months in 225 litre barrels, reveals a colour of good depth and tone; the bouquet is faint at first but gradually expands and increases, in volume thanks to oxygenation provided by its steering in the glass. The wine provides a firm structure to the palate; it is smooth and the tannins remind us of the fact that this Merlot “chianteggia”.
