Roberto Anselmi I Capitelli 2005 37.5cl - Monteforte, Italy

Bin No. ANSELMICAP

Price: £14.50

The I Capitelli wine from Roberto Anselmi is a stunningly rich and complex dessert wine made from 100% Garganega grapes.

In the heart of the classic Soave production area, near the towns of Monteforte and Soave in the Foscarino and Zoppega hills, Roberto Anselmi selects the grapes from the vineyards that are identifiable by the adjacent 'capitelli' (chapels) which from experience are the best geographic positions to produce grapes. The terrain is hilly, with southern exposure, and the soils are volcanic in some plots of land, calcareous in others.

The vines are very closely pruned, with few fruit bearing buds; the bunches of grapes are thinned in June. Ripe bunches are selected and put in a single layer in small cases (plateaux). A second selection of bunches of grapes suitable for drying on mats in a ventilated room is also made. During November bunches show evidence of 'nobile botrytis'. In February, pressing takes place in pneumatic presses and the very sweet must ferments naturally in small oak barriques. At the end of fermentation, after two decantings, the fermented juices continue to age in the same barriques for about 16 months, and from one to three years in bottle before it is ready to drink.

Deep golden in colour this dessert wine is packed with apricot, honey and pear flavours; and it is smooth, subtle and velvety on the palate. Drink the I Capitelli on release or alternatively it can be matured further in bottle for up to 20 years.
