In the Glass — Tasting Notes
Bright and mineral-driven, the 2024 Trebbiano presents itself as a yellow-gold wine that tastes as alive as it looks. Yellow flowers and almond lead on the nose, with vanilla undertones from six months in French oak. On the palate, it's intense yet refined—ripeness meets restraint—with enough acidity and delicate tannin to give it real structure and a lasting finish. At 13.5% ABV, this is drinkability without compromise.
The Winery — Capezzana
Capezzana, in the Carmignano zone west of Florence, is run by the Contini Bonacossi family, now in their fourth generation of stewardship. Winemaker Benedetta Contini Bonacossi oversees production under consultant Franco Bernabei's guidance. The estate's 104 organic hectares sit on east-facing slopes planted into alberese and galestro clay—soils that give precision to every vintage. The 2024 vintage benefited from a wet winter that set the vines up well, followed by a warm, dry summer allowing steady, even ripening without disease pressure. The wine fermented for ten days in both stainless steel and oak barriques at cool temperatures, then matured half a year in barrel before a further six months in bottle—classic Tuscan patience that shows unmistakably in the glass.
At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving
This is your answer to seafood: grilled fish, lobster, or simply prepared shellfish all sing alongside it. Risotto with asparagus or seafood works beautifully, as does antipasto or a summer salad. The wine's mineral precision and refined acidity make it equally at home as an aperitivo or at Sunday lunch and date night.
