Producer Information

Capannelle was founded by Raffaele Rossetti in 1974 on the site of a 16th-century farmhouse. The first vintage of a Vino da Tavola called Capannelle was released a year later. French oak barrels were introduced in 1977, and white wine production from the mid 1980s. The 50&50 collaboration with Avignonesi began in 1988. James B. Sherwood, founder of Orient Express Hotels, Trains & Cruises bought the estate in 1997. Two more vineyards were bought, and the capacity of the winery was doubled. Simone Monciatti has made the wine here since 1984. The estate features an armored caveau. This houses an archive of around 8000 bottles of its previous vintages, and precious bottles owned by key restaurant and hotel customers.
