Capinera

About Winery and Wines

Our property is located in Morrovalle, a small medieval village in the heart of the Marche region, in Italy. Between the Sibillini mountains and the Adriatic Sea we found an ideal terroir in the cultivation of vines. The property has always belonged to the Capinera's family, consists of about 40 hectares of land well exposed to the south, facing Chienti River’s Valley, with a slight slope that allows to easily work the land. The soil is of medium mixture mainly clay with good presence of limestone. These conditions are favorable for the cultivation of vines, olives and herbaceous crops. Vineyard fertilization is done with natural fertilizers. All operations are handmade, from dry and green pruning, until the harvest. The harvest aims to harvest healthy and well-ripened grapes by walking through the vineyard at least twice and collect the fruit in the best conditions of maturation. The harvested grapes are immediately taken to the cellar and vinified according to the type of wine to be obtained. Fresh collecting them for the production of young wines and ripe for wines aged in wood. The cultivated varieties are both native and international. We want to remain a small winery which produces excellent wine. Being small permits us to control, with utmost attention and care the entire production line, from the vine workings up to the winemaking in the winery. We produce wine for passion and we cater to passionate people like us. We are so proud about our work and our labels that during the year we organize numerous events in the winery, where professional sommeliers and winelovers meet to taste and discuss our wines or simply to enjoy a special evening drinking glasses of wine in good company. Morrovalle, has been recognized as a city of wine and we can proudly say that we are the only winery in the entire town.
