Wine mak­ing is one of the finest art in the world. Even if tech­no­log­i­cal rev­o­lu­tion has reached also this seg­ment of the mar­ket the prin­ci­ples of wine mak­ing have been the same for centuries.200803barrique.jpg

Italy has always played a huge role in this mar­ket and it seems that the Capo­rali fam­ily in Tus­cany has found a great way to inno­vate and pro­mote their products.

The “Tenuta Valdip­i­atta” estate is sit­ting in the munic­i­pal­ity of Mon­tepul­ciano, a very well known area for the qual­ity of the vine­yards it holds. I think that every­one of us has always dreamed about quit­ting his day job and start pro­duc­ing good wine in Tuscany.

Any­way, pro­duc­ing a great wine is not an easy job.

The Capo­rali fam­ily will allow you to pro­duce your own wine by adopt­ing a wine bar­rel or, bet­ter, a barrique.

Using this approach every­body could pro­duce his own wine with­out hav­ing to go through all of the hur­dles. You will not have to get an estate and vine­yard (expen­sive), you will not need a license from the Ital­ian gov­ern­ment (frus­trat­ing), but you will have all of the options to influ­ence the final product.

The process that the Caporali’s fam­ily has designed will lead the cus­tomer along all of the steps need to build a great wine. You will select your wine bar­rel through bar­rel tast­ing. After you will have selected your own bar­rel the team will guide you to the cre­ation of your own blend for your wine by mix­ing the fruits com­ing from the vine­yards. When you will have found your per­fect com­bi­na­tion, the selec­tion will be put in your bar­rel and left there for a period vary­ing from 12 to 18 months.

When the bot­tling time will come you will choose the bot­tle, the label and the final packaging.

Unfor­tu­nately there is no indi­ca­tion about pric­ing but you can rest sure that they will answer all of your questions.

The bad news is that they have cur­rently too many requests to cope with and it seems they are not accept­ing new ones.

Don’t for­get that the vine­yards in the munic­i­pal­ity of Mon­tepul­ciano are one of the best in the world.
