Caprettone Emblema di Cantine Olivella: PRODUCTION

The Caprettone Emblema di Cantine Olivella is produced from 100% Caprettone grapes grown on volcanic soils in the territory of Sant'Anastasia (NA), on the northwest side of Mount Vesuvius. After white winemaking, which involves no maceration of the must on the skins, the aging process lasted 4 months in stainless steel on the fine lees, plus an additional 2 months in the bottle. Caprettone is a white berry grape typical of the Vesuvius area, often confused with Coda di Volpe, and it owes its name to the shape of the cluster that resembles a goat's beard.
