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 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.
An iconic wine that fully accentuates the features of the native namesake variety. The Corvina Casa Capitei is soft and warm with velvety notes and leads us back to its origins: the Valpolicella. Black pepper, ripe wild berries, and at the same time, fragrances in the glass narrate the story of black and red berries that grow on the hills of the area.
Excellent with any meal. Delicious with grilled meats and vegetables or with platters of cured meats and hard cheeses. Also very suitable for pairing with street food dishes.
To drink immediately or stored for up to about 5 years.
A light initial drying in crates and soft crushing aimed at preserving a significant percentage of whole grapes, which will slowly release their juice during fermentation. The alcoholic fermentation is completed in 25-30 days in temperature-controlled steel tanks with repeated pump-overs. This is followed by malolactic fermentation and racking for clarification, then aging for 6-8 months, with 50% in 30hl oak barrels and the remaining 50% in second and third-use barriques. After bottling, the wine rests for an additional 5 months before being released for sale.
