Chiodo Simone Capecci 2021
Simone Capecci's Marche Bianco Chiodo is made from Garofanata, an indigenous variety from the Marche region that has very ancient origins dating back to around 1870.
Garofanata, initially discovered in the territory of the province of Ancona and later also in the rest of the Marche, was also called "Garofalata" or "Moscato Bastardo." The latter term was used in the past precisely because, like Moscato, Garofanata also expressed a good aromaticity in the wines obtained.
In the version elaborated by Simone Capecci, the name Chiodo was chosen to remark the tenacity with which this ancient vine has remained "planted" over time in the Marche region.
After manual harvesting of carefully selected bunches of grapes and a brief pellicular maceration, fermentation and an initial 6-month aging are carried out in cement tanks. Before release, the wine undergoes a further period of bottle aging for 9 months.
Simone Capecci
The company Capecci was born in 1988, when Vincenzo Capecci decided to bottle for the first time the cask wine that had always sold since the early twentieth century. Since 2000, Simone Capecci has been involved in the life of the company, cultivating and selling with passion. San Savino is located in Ripatransone, in a beautiful valley and around the farm are also the vineyards planted mainly for sheep and goat, with a good percentage of Sangiovese and Montepulciano. The current market demands more and more fresh white and young whites wine, but it is on the reds that the company overtakes istelf, processing from the clay soils of the real muscular wine but at the same time fragrant. The company counts today about 25 hectares of vines.
