Roberto Anselmi is credited for single-handedly reversing the wanning reputation of the Veneto wine region. Roberto creates his wines with a quality over quantity approach and in 2000 had decided he’d had enough of the Soave region’s low quality wines, lack of ambition, and overly restrictive regulations, so he did the unheard of and quit the association by writing an infamous open letter to the appellation announcing his decision to leave. Today, Anselmi is widely considered on of Italy’s best white wine producers. The Capitel Croce recently received the highest recognition by the Gambero Rosso Guide with the Tre Bicchieri, representing one of only 13 wines recognised with this achievement from the Veneto region this year.
