Winery Profile
- Since 1890 the Tessari family has been producing wine at their estate called “La Cappuccina”, located in Costalunga di Monteforte d’Alpone, in the Soave D.O.C. area, east of Verona.
- The winery owes its name to the small 15th century chapel once belonged to Capuchin friars. More than 66 acres of high density and low yield vineyards have been cultivated with the same passion for generations.
- Since 1985 they applied organic methods that forbid the use of chemical fertilizers, weed killers and pesticides in order to preserve the environment and achieve extremely elegant and refined wines. In this volcanic area well suited to viticulture, the potential of the Garganega grape (70% of the vineyards) is fully explored and experimented.
