Very light colour with a fragrant spicy and subtly lychee-like bouquet, a trace of nuttiness, the palate full and rich and rounded, a smidgin of sweetness and generous grip adding extra feel and texture to the flavour. Long carry. A powerful wine which has a confronting amount of tannin. Its strength of structure suggests it would work well with many foods, especially poultry.

Spicy and floral, the 2021 Capitel Foscarino impresses with a blend of dried flowers, incense, sour melon and hints of smoke. It envelopes the palate with rich textural fruit, having an almost-oily feel, as tropical citrus tones and hints of banana flesh out across the senses. It maintains amazing balance, coming across as opulent yet lively and fresh. The 2021 tapers off with medium length.

Capitel Foscarino is grown on twenty-four acres of cru vineyards at the top of the Foscarino Hill, the best vine growing hill in the area. These vineyards are on south-facing slopes 300m above sea level.
Capitel Foscarino (Garganega and Chardonnay) is light straw gold, with vibrant aromas of tropical fruit, citrus and honey. Medium to full-bodied with flavors of fresh apples, peach and lime underscored by mineral notes. Pairs well with fish, shellfish, risotto, grilled vegetables and creamy cheeses.
