RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Let’s start from Campania with Caprettone, a white grape variety, historically widespread in the Vesuvius area in the province of Naples. The name probably derives from the shape of the cluster, which looks like a capra (goat) beard. The aromatic character is measured, it is appreciated above all for a particular consistency and juiciness, and above all for a beautiful intensely smoky and savoury character that surfaces after a few years in the bottle. The results are growing year by year, also interesting are tests with caprettone as a base for Classic Method cuvées, something that a few years ago was unthinkable (https://www.gamberorossointernational.com/news/wine-news/five-native-grape-varieties-we-are-ready-to-bet-on/?utm_term=28569+-+Five+native+grape+varieties+we+are+ready+to+bet+on&utm_campaign=NL+WEEKLY+ENG&utm_medium=email&utm_source=MagNews&utm_content=4140+-+2124+%282021-05-07%29
