60,00 €

Created in 1964 by Count Piero Loredan as a Special Reserve for official events hosted in Venice, it soon came to be prized and recognized all over the word. It is the result of old and unique clones and severe selection of the grapes grown in the oldest vineyard of the estate: “The 100 plants”(1946). This wine is for sure one of the most original e legendary Italian red wines, never flattened on the trivial frame fruit-oak.

Capo di Stato is complex with its juicy deep-ruby color. The nose has intense aromas of deeply ripe fruits (such as blackberry and black currant, toasted hazelnuts and dried petals of roses) all blended together with very particular hints of dewy musk and tempting sweet spices.
