Where Movies Imitate Life

The amazing Capannelle winery in Chianti Classico Italy reminds one of the book and movie "Under the Tuscan Sun". Charismatic previous owner Rossetti bought the dilapidated Tuscan farmhouse in 1974 and quickly turned it into a model for state-of-the-art boutique wine producers. Not only production techniques, but marketing practices ensured the success of the limited number of wines.

The winery was one of the first in the region to use stainless steel tanks. These and other innovative wine-making techniques were put into place by business owner Rossetti who previously worked in laminated plastics. Chianti Classico wineries have held the premier position in production of classic wines.  The Capannelle winery makes blends and boutique wines another way to take advantage of the wine harvest.
