More questions
Capitel Croce IGT by Anselmi is a Venetian white wine born from the elegance of the Garganega grape variety, cultivated on the hills of Valpolicella. Its IGT designation confirms attention to territorial traditions, but with an expressive freedom that translates into a unique and refined character. After a delicate pressing, the wine matures in oak barrels for a few months, acquiring complexity and structure without losing the typical freshness of the grape variety.
In the glass, it presents with a bright straw-yellow color, while on the nose it releases intense aromas of white flowers, ripe citrus, and subtle notes of almond, evidence of great harmony between fruit and wood. On the palate, it is lively and well balanced, with a pleasant sapidity that invites another sip. Perfect paired with fish dishes, white meats, and fresh cheeses, Capitel Croce expresses the richness and versatility of the Venetian territory at its best.

The story
The family estate dates back to the post-World War II period: according to the timeline on the official website, the business began in 1948 with Almerino Anselmi and continued under Roberto Anselmi, who from the 1970s–1980s reorganized vineyards on the upper hills and focused production on the quality of local grapes.
Production philosophy
Production focused on enhancing the hilly terroir and the Garganega grape variety, using high-density planting, cluster selection and trials of resistant grape varieties. The winery has chosen to label many of its wines as Veneto IGT, consistent with a production approach independent of certain denomination rules.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards located on the hills of Monteforte d'Alpone and Soave, in sites such as Foscarino and Zoppega; soils characterized by volcanic tuff and limestone formations that impart minerality and a diurnal temperature range to the grapes.
