One of Cantine Lenotti's gems, this red Capomastro. The name Capomastro is a nickname for Giancarlo Lenotti. The Corvina Veronese and Rebo grapes grow on the clay-containing hills on the eastern side of Lake Garda. Remarkably, the grapes are harvested two to three weeks later than usual to ensure perfect ripeness. This Capomastro is also made with minimal sulfites, only 40-60mg per liter. We can therefore say that this wine is exceptionally pure and smooth.
Lenotti top winery from Italy
The Lenotti name has been around since 1906. Initially, the wine from the farm was sold exclusively in demijohns. But much has changed since then.

In other words: the price-quality ratio of Lenotti wines is perfect. The family business is constantly evolving. Expansion began in 1971, and in 2005, it was completely renovated and modernized. Today, it is still run by the Lenotti family. Lenotti exports more than ninety percent of its production and is immensely popular worldwide for its quality wines.
The harvest and taste of Lenotti Capomastro
This delicious Italian Capomastro is a blend of 50 percent Corvina Veronese and 50 percent Rebo grapes. The grapes are gently pressed after harvest, after which they undergo alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks for eight to nine days at a controlled temperature of 22 to 24 degrees Celsius. After vinification, the cherry-red wine has fragrant aromas of red fruit. The fruity flavor is full, juicy, and pleasantly spicy with soft, ripe tannins and a pleasant finish. In short, a delicious glass of red wine! Lenotti Capomastro makes a pleasant aperitif and pairs well with Italian pizza and pasta, red meat dishes, or a cheese platter.
