Established by Francesco Capetta in the late 1980’s as Cantine Capetta, the Balbi Soprani project is now an agricultural estate that brings together 20 hectares of Balbi Soprani vineyards in Cuneo (to the southwest of Asti), plus selected plots guaranteed by the Capetta family.
Winemakers since 1953, the Capetta family operates in Piedmont across the famed DOCs and DOCGs of Langhe, Terre del Gavi, Roero, Acqui, and the Moscato hills of Cuneo, Asti and Alessandria. The domain produces the gamut of table wines from Piemonte from sweet and light whites through to deep and brooding reds.
Only available on-premise in Italy, the entire range is designed for the table—food friendly wines with delicate balance and immediate approachability, and pricing to make them pourable by the glass. Even the Barolo and Barbaresco wines, which traditionally would need many years in the cellar before they are open for business, here have an ethereal and velvety nature to counter the regions’ robust structure.
