Now that everyone in Italy is jumping on the native variety bandwagon, credit ought to be given to original owner Raffaele Rossetti and his winemaker, Simone Mongiatti, for having believed in them from the start. And it's food for thought that three of the very best wines in Chianti (Ama's Bellavista, Castellare's Sodi di S. Niccolo and this estate's Solare) contain malvasia nera as the complement to sangiovese. Capannelle's is quintessential traditional Chianti: high in acidity; characterized by flavors of tart red fruits; rich despite being relatively low in alcohol; and released a year later than most, spending as much as 16 months apiece in barrel and bottle.
