La Capuccina

La Capuccina

Capuccina is a 17th-century estate in Cureggio, in the hills of the Novara area between Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta. It runs as an agriturismo with nine rooms, a restaurant built around its organic vegetable garden and orchard, and 12 acres of working land. The estate has cultivated a small vineyard since 2015, working only Nebbiolo and Vespolina, with spontaneous fermentations on native yeasts and most ageing in large Slavonian oak casks.

The wines are sold under the La Capuccina label: two Nebbiolo reds, Opera 32 and Faren, and a Nebbiolo rosé, Rouse, all Colline Novaresi DOC, the appellation of the Novara hills in Alto Piemonte.
