La Capua Winery nasce da una idea dei suoi fondatori Riccardo e Natasha Capua di individuare in un particolare terroir della Maremma Toscana nella valle dell’Albegna vicino Saturnia condizioni microclimatiche ideali per sperimentare l’allevamento e la vinificazione di una gamma multi varietale di vitigni autoctoni ed internazionali. Nei suoi sei ettari di vigneto ad altissima intensità di impianto, con otto mila ceppi per ettaro, la Capua Winery coltiva l’Alicante, il Colorino, il Touriga National, il Merlot, il Cabernet Franc ed il Cabernet Sauvignon, il Petit Verdot, il Marselan, lo Chardonnay ed il Sangiovese.

In the vineyard he opts for a high planting density (6000 vines per hectare) which enables him to keep the yield per vine low yet still stay in business.

Your corpus example - "altissima intensità di impianto, con otto mila ceppi per ettaro" - fits nicely halfway between my two examples:

a high planting density of 6000 vines per hectare
a very high planting density of 8000 vines per hectare
an ultra-high planting density of 9000 to 11000 vines per hectare

  -> Many thanks! Furthermore, I find that a "vine density of 8000 vines" sounds a little tautological...
