At the eastern limit of Castellina, bordering Radda, Capraia’s two-hectare Casanuova di Pietrafitta vineyard climbs to 550 metres. Facing northeast, the low yielding 50-year-old vines bear approximately one kilogram per plant. Delicate scents of white blossom are flecked with black pepper and flint. This is linear and relatively slim in build yet offers worthy depth of red cherry and currants tangled with crushed herbs. Crisp acidity propels a stony mineral sensation, and fine, chalky tannins assert their grip. Perhaps just a touch dry.
