Selva Capuzza is a farm dedicated to the production of wine from 6 native vines of the area. Inside there are also olive trees, a forest born as a truffle ground, large open spaces dedicated to biodiversity, a park of centuries-old mulberry trees and two small lakes.

It takes its name from the locality in which it is found; the countryside areas south of the lake were already called "Silvae" in Roman times. The name "Capuzza" seems to derive from its elevated position, at the beginning of the hills of the morainic amphitheater of Garda, on the "cappuccio" which is located a few hundred meters from the tower of San Martino della Battaglia.

What is now Selva Capuzza is the union of two stories linked to wine: that of the Formentini family, dedicated to this craft since 1917, and that of the Hirundo brand, born in 1908.

The soil is calcareous-clayey, with a rich presence of stones to mitigate its compactness, in the deeper bands there are layers of gravel and sand.

The uniqueness of this environmental context has encouraged us to dedicate ourselves completely to the search for the maximum qualitative expression of our native and traditional grapes: Turbiana, Tuchì, Groppello, Marzemino, Barbera and Sangiovese to produce the denominations that we are lucky enough to be able to produce at inside the farm, to testify to its important vocation: Lugana, San Martino della Battaglia and Garda Classico.

Tasting Notes: This full-bodied spumante is the result of a long fermentation in steel tanks with the italian method, also called Martinotti or Charmat. Grapes are picked by hand in early September to preserve acidity and freshness to the future wine. Crispy and sapid, with typical white flowers and chamomile scent.

Sustainably farmed.
