Crafted by the legendary Antinori family, whose winemaking heritage in Tuscany spans over six centuries, Capsula Viola is a beloved, vibrant expression of everyday Tuscan white wine. Historically designed to be fresh, approachable, and highly convivial, its name translates to 'purple capsule,' a nod to its distinctive, colorful closure. This wine is typically a blend of Trebbiano Toscano and Chardonnay, fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its bright, crisp character. Free from oak influence, it captures the sunny, breezy terroir of Tuscany, offering delicate aromas of white flowers, green apples, and citrus. It represents the simple elegance of Italian daily life, where a bottle of fresh white wine is always ready to be shared among friends.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Tracing its winemaking heritage back to 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Winemakers' Guild, Marchesi Antinori has been shaped by twenty-six generations of family leadership. Headquartered in the heart of Chianti Classico, the family has expanded its portfolio across prestigious estates in Tuscany, Umbria, and beyond, driven by a philosophy that balances deep historical respect with bold innovation. Antinori famously pioneered the "Super Tuscan" movement in the 1970s, introducing revolutionary French oak aging and international varieties to create iconic labels like Tignanello and Solaia. Today, their diverse portfolio spans from the elegant Sangiovese of Badia a Passignano to the acclaimed white blend Cervaro della Sala, cementing their legacy as global ambassadors of Italian fine wine.
