Fattoria Castello di Verrazzano di Cappellini Luigi Giovanni

Castello di Verazzzno may just very well be the most beatiful wine estate in all of Italy. And with some many gorgeous wine estates, that is really saying a lot. Yet it is quite true. I have had the great fortune to visit Verrazzano on 3 occasions and even stayed on the property for 2 days with 2 of my cousins (Cujinos) … I am good friends with the great and wonderful Luigi Cappellini whose father purchase the property in 1958. The property was a bit run-​down at the time, but the Cappellini family brought the beautiful estate back to life and made it the great place it is today. Luigi and his family are wonderful people. AT Verrazznno they make some of the BEst Chianti in all of the Chianti Classico Region. They also make wonderful Honey, Aceto, Chianti Vinegar, and Tuscan Olive Oil. And if you are ever lucky enough to go there and take one of their marvelous Wine Tours through their gorgeous «Cellar» that is led by the wonderous and affable Gino Rosso who heads the tours, it will be one of the highlights of your life, «I Garauntee» After you tour of the famed Verrazzano Cellars you will have the most wonderful 5 course lunch of Verrazzano home-​made Wild Boar Salami, there Tuscum Pecorino covered with their luscious Honey, Paparadelle with Wild Boar Ragu and other tasty treats, all accompanied by a different Verrazzno wine for each course, from the tasty Verrazzano Rosso to a great Chainti Riserva, to the famed Sassella, and finsihing up with Verrazzano’s lush Vino Santo with the dessert course, «La Dolce Vita,» Yes if you ever go to the gorgeous Castello Verrazzano, you will remember and cherish the day for the rest of your life, Barvo Luigi, Bravo Gino, you guys are the Best !!!
