Selva Capuzza

Selva Capuzza

Selva Capuzza, located at the southern edge of Lago di Garda, is a place of both incredible beauty and history (see below Rosso 'Dunant'). Lake Garda was a glacial formation and the surrounding area has clay soils with lots of stones and mineral salts. It is one the northernmost regions to have a nearly Mediterranean climate, where lemon trees and olive groves abound.

Selva Capuzza takes its name from 'Silvae' (meaning wild place) and the Formetini family have been nurturing and protecting this wild place for over 100 years. They regard this land as a unique eco system and farm sustainably, and then some. They place enormous emphasis on the biodiversity of their land to encourage flora and fauna to flourish and no herbicides have been used since 2010.
They were amongst the first wineries to track their Co2 emissions and, in the cantina, power is  supplied from certified renewable sources and they only use recycled materials and lightweight bottles.
