Senatore Cappelli

Senatore Cappelli is a heritage durum wheat selected in the early 20th century by the Italian agronomist Nazareno Strampelli, named after Senator Raffaele Cappelli. For decades it was the backbone of Italian pasta, prized for its bold, nutty flavour, high digestibility, and remarkable nutritional profile.

It is naturally tall and deep-rooted, drawing minerals from the soil and resisting weeds without herbicides. Its grain is rich in protein, fibre, and antioxidants, with a gluten structure that many find lighter and easier to digest than modern hybrid wheats.

Choosing Senatore Cappelli means choosing a wheat that carries the memory of Italian fields, the patience of careful selection, and the honest taste of a grain that time forgot, only to be rediscovered.
