San Baggio Groppello Riviera Del Garda Classico 2017, Podere Selva Capuzza, Lake Garda, Italy

Raspberry, strawberry, cherries, baking mixed spice (teacake spice), black pepper Brilliant !!.

Selva Capuzza is a family run estate producing wines in three distinct DOC appellations: Lugana, San Martino della Battaglia, and Garda Classico. The three DOCs overlap in this area. This is the only winery in the area which produces the three of them.

The Formentini family works only with native grape varieties. The white varieties are Turbiana, which is the main grape in Lugana, and Tuchì for San Martino della Battaglia. The red and rosé wines are made with Groppello, Sangiovese, Barbera and Marzemino. This wine was made with Groppello.

The estate’s wines are all made in the cellar, situated between Cascina Capuzza and Borgo San Donino agriturismo. The cellar was built in 2001 to accommodate all the phases of winemaking, from the pressing of the grapes through vinification and finally aging then bottling.

All the wines are made by a team led by Luca Formentini, with the help of a cellarman, a winemaker and an agronomist.
