I Capitelli Bianco Passito Veneto IGT 0,375 l - Anselmi

The I Capitelli Bianco Passito Veneto IGT from Azienda Agricola Anselmi is a fantastic aromatic passito that shimmers in the glass with an intense golden color with amber reflections. The bouquet offers an explosion of aromatic scents of honey, raisined apricots, dried and candied exotic fruits, as well as herbs and saffron. Spicy in flavor, the influence of botrytis is unmistakable, the Passito I Capitelli presents itself on the palate with a beguiling sweetness, full-bodied, dense and carried by an elegant and powerful acidity. The finish is silky, aromatically fresh and incredibly long.

Vinification of the I Capitelli Bianco Passito Veneto IGT by Anselmi

Garganega grapes are selected from various plots in the Anselmi vineyards for this exquisite dessert wine. The grapes are then dried in well-ventilated rooms until December. Depending on the year, the grapes are more or less affected by botrytis, which contributes to the very special aroma of this wine. After pressing, the must is fermented in Allier barriques and matured over a period of 8 months.

In the Soave region, a dessert wine has always been produced as a passito with botrytis from the same grapes used to make Soave. Anselmi follows tradition and yet is innovative. He exploits the full aromatic potential of the Garganega grape, vinifies 100% from this grape variety and ages his wine in small French oak barrels.
