Pont St. Martin Capra Giuseppe 1976
This 1976 vintage wine is produced by Capra Giuseppe in the Pont St. Martin area of Italy. Bottled in a 720 ml format with an alcohol content of 12%, it is a classic representation of the local viticulture from that year.
The wine originates from Valle d'Aosta, Italy's smallest wine region. Nestled between the highest peaks of the Alps near the borders of France and Switzerland, the area is defined by its extreme alpine environment. The vineyards are situated on some of the highest terraces in Europe, where the steep and challenging terrain often requires the vines to be cultivated entirely by hand.
Valle d'Aosta is historically recognized for its focus on native grape varieties such as Petit Rouge, Fumin, and Prié Blanc, alongside alpine expressions of Nebbiolo. The region's unique geographical position and high-altitude cultivation impart a strong local identity to its agricultural output.
