Produced from Selva Capuzza’s oldest and highest vineyard, Selva is one of the first single vineyards of Lugana ever produced.
This vineyard has three important elements: altitude between 110 and 125 metres above sea level, hill incline and stones that allow the clay in the soil to be more permeable.
It then matures in the bottle, where it waits to reach a balance in which the grape softens its exuberance, and achieve a harmony between its salinity and freshness. This balance makes it a unique expression of the terroir.
The wine will begin to show its true identity by the end of the summer – one year after the harvest. But it can age for several years, revealing itself more and more with each passing year and always surprising.
By early autumn, its vigor will be expressed in a more generous range of aromas, which, though delicate, is balanced between minerality and fruitiness (citrus, peach, etc.). Subtle vegetal notes, sometimes of sage, may also be detected.
Taste is the most important expressive dimension of this wine. Its sapidity – heightened by freshness – combined with a broad, vibrant warmth, makes the wine uniquely compatible with food. Far from being overly assertive, it subtly accentuates and enhances the flavors of the dishes it accompanies.
