Capitel Foscarino is one of the wines that Anselmi produces from a single vineyard. In these regions, the designation Capitel refers to a single vineyard. This may only be used for wines originating from the specific slope. Capitel Foscarino is a south-facing vineyard, 350 meters above sea level, with a calcareous, volcanic subsoil that quickly drains any rainwater. The vineyard covers 10 hectares and produces approximately 45 hectoliters per hectare. The selection of the harvest at Foscarino is strict and therefore takes place twice. The grapes used for this wine are always very ripe, resulting in a wine of power and richness. During vinification, cold maceration of the must takes place; after pneumatic pressing, the juice is fermented at a controlled temperature of 16°C. After this process, the wine spends 6 months in stainless steel tanks with natural yeast cells and undergoes bâtonnage. The wine then ages in the bottle for the final 6 months. The wines have an aging potential of ten years.
