Capaia One 2012
A marvellous blend of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc made from only selected blocks coming from Capaia terroir.
Now nearly 6 years after “marriage” this wine shows elegant layers of youthful fruit, well integrated with the perfectly balanced tannin structure.
Bold yet refined, the wine shows freshness but also maturity, with the guarantee of future development.
