Surrounded by woods and a breathtaking panorama, the 5 hectares Casa Capitei estate form the heart of the Valpolicella Classica and dominate the landscape below the La Salette sanctuary. History, elegance, and territorial complexity are the key elements of Monte del Frà's stylistic credo. In this extraordinary territory, they find a new mainspring.
The Valpolicella (namely Val polis cellae, The valley of many cellars) is where each commune and vineyard distinct themselves through their very own nature.
The vinification, harvesting, and wilting take place in San Pietro in Cariano, a modern structure with air-conditioned wilting premises able of controlled wilting of up to 300 tons of grapes. Thus, we can preserve the crispness and elegance of every single grape and ensure that technology becomes a tool to unfold the complexity and elegance of a true Valpolicella wine.
The Amarone Classico DOCG Casa Capitei is the voice of the Valpolicella, risen by a robust, unique, and antique vineyard on extraordinary soil. Its complex and genuine personality delivers an immediate, outstanding experience and stands for exceptional longevity.
Excellent with main courses based on red meat, braised dishes, grilled meats, or roasts. It pairs well with spicy, flavorful first courses like risotto with tastasal, cacio e pepe, and lasagna with ragù. A great wine for entertaining, it goes wonderfully with aged cheeses and can also be enjoyed as a meditation wine outside of meals.
To drink immediately or aged for up to about 20 years.
Soft crushing and pressing. Due to the naturally low temperature of the grapes (4-6°C), acquired in the fruit room, alcoholic fermentation is preceded by a few days of cold maceration. It is then transferred to small steel vats with manual punching down, allowing for a long contact with the skins. Malolactic fermentation follows, and then the wine is aged in French oak barrels for about 30 months. After bottling, the wine undergoes a further maturation period of at least 6 months before being released for sale.
