In addition to their wines, the Counts Capponi produce a Grappa
distilled from their own Chianti grapes, a very flavourful Extra Virgin
Olive Oil, and an aromatic Red Wine Vinegar.
All these products are made according to ancien tradition; vinegar, for one, being recorded in the family since 1693
This olive oil is cold-pressed to conserve all its flavour and fragrance. The olives grown on the Calcinaia estate produce an exceptional oil with a characteristic spicy taste with undertones of artichoke, green leaf and chestnut. Its colour is an intense green typical of the area and is produced (min. 80%) from the varietals Correggiolo, Moraiolo and Leccino. Singular for its fragrance and spiciness, it offers not only the healthy benefits of low cholesterol, but also the ability to carry you back in time to the traditions of the countryside of old.
