The palate echoes the sweet red fruit, seductive, with some body, modest acidity, and a soft character. The fresh, fruity character is reflected in the wine's light structure, modest tannins, light body, and fresh acidity. The finish has a slightly liquorice-like quality. Light ruby red color. Seductive, sweet, and bursting with fruit.

A delicious fruit bomb!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Selva Capuzza estate, located four kilometers south of Lake Garda, is owned by the Formentini family. The estate offers a wide range of activities: there is a restaurant in the old 13th-century manor house, apartments in another manor house and a converted old barn, abundant nature with a wide diversity of flora and fauna, and of course, the winery and vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBiodiversity is strongly promoted on the estate, and they work in a way that, while not organically certified, goes much further in the Formentini's conviction. They believe that every producer must find their own ecological balance, primarily depending on the geographical location. In the case of Selva Capuzza, this means, for example, that they have not used any form of herbicides since 2010, that all electricity is generated naturally, and that the wine is bottled in lighter-than-usual bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards are located in a natural amphitheater, 5 minutes south of Lake Garda. They are an average of 60 meters above the level of Lake Garda, which means there is always wind. This ensures that the vineyards are naturally cooled and, if necessary, dried. The soils consist mainly of clay mixed with medium and large stones left behind by the glaciers during the last ice age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe estate falls within three appellations, all of which are produced: Lugana, San Martino della Battaglia, and Garda. The wines are made in a very natural way under the guidance of winemaker Luca Formentini. Only local grapes are used: Turbiana and Tuchì for white, and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/gropello\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eGroppello\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, Sangiovese, Barbera, and Marzemino for red.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey do not aim for high yields per hectare, which results in wines that are deliciously juicy and concentrated, with great finesse. Excellent all-around meal companions! An Italian guide aptly wrote: 'Their wines have an emotional approach, besides the technical and professional side.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Selva Capuzza","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58944335708485,"sku":"P28090","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1183\/2133\/files\/5213d7bf5b7f601e31d73ac8a4cec67d3880218c.jpg?v=1787299467","url":"https:\/\/vechtstreekwijnen.nl\/en\/products\/selva-capuzza-groppello-san-biagio","provider":"Vechtstreek Wijnen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
