This is liquid sunlight in a glass, radiant, luscious, and exquisitely balanced. The 2015 I Capitelli opens with aromas of dried apricot, acacia honey, orange peel and toasted almond, all laced with a gentle floral perfume. On the palate, it’s unctuous yet never heavy, offering layers of candied citrus, golden peach and saffron with a line of zesty acidity keeping it pure and poised. The texture is silken, the finish endlessly lingering, a perfect harmony of sweetness, freshness, and quiet power.

For when: The night needs a touch of gold.
Pairs with: Foie gras, tarte Tatin, or late-night laughter.
If this wine were a Venetian chandelier, it would be intricate, glowing, and impossible to forget.

From his steep volcanic vineyards in the heart of Soave Classico, Roberto Anselmi has carved a reputation as one of Italy’s most visionary white wine producers. Frustrated by the limitations of the local DOC, he crafts his wines under the freer Veneto IGT, allowing full creative expression. I Capitelli is his crown jewel, 100% Garganega, hand-harvested late and air-dried on mats until the berries reach sublime concentration. Fermentation in small oak barrels and extended ageing lend both richness and refinement. The 2015 vintage, a warm and generous year, produced a wine of glowing depth and crystalline poise.  It is a modern icon of Italian sweet winemaking.
