✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Tracing its winemaking heritage back to 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Guild of Florentine Winemakers, Marchesi Antinori stands as one of the world's most enduring and influential wine dynasties. For more than twenty-six generations, the family has balanced deep reverence for Tuscan tradition with bold, pioneering innovation, most notably catalyzing the Super Tuscan revolution in the late 20th century. Based at their architecturally stunning headquarters in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, the estate oversees prestigious properties across Tuscany, Umbria, and beyond, with viticulture dedicated to capturing the distinct soul of each terroir. Today, led by Marchese Piero Antinori alongside his daughters Albiera, Allegra, and Alessia, the house produces iconic masterpieces including the legendary Sangiovese-Cabernet blend Tignanello, the opulent Solaia, and the benchmark Italian white Cervaro della Sala.
