Summary
Capella Sant’Andrea is owned and operated by Flavia Del Seta and Francesco Galgani. The couple are steadfastly committed to producing organically farmed Vernaccia di San Gimignano in this Tuscan DOC .
Their farm is organic certified and they also employ a number of biodynamic practices to enhance the biodiversity and “humus” or life in their soils like fertilizing with compost and planting and sowing cover crops. And each of their bottlings of Vernaccia di San Gimignano is vinified using spontaneous fermentation. In other words, no cultured or selected yeasts are used, and addition of S02 during the winemaking process and bottling is kept to an absolute minimum.
Their wines, made from younger and older plantings of Vernaccia depending on the desired complexity and texture, are intended to be the purest expression of the grape variety and appellation as possible.
