I Capitani 2006 Bosco Faiano Aglianico (Taurasi)

Price $45

Bosco Faiano is a hearty, masculine wine, aged 18 months in large oak casks to deliver dark notes of dried fruit, black currant, cured meat, leather and spice. At first, this tastes bold and raw, but after a few minutes in the glass, it shows a nice evolution toward elegance. — M.L. (2/1/2013)

points

I Capitani 2009 Gaudium Fiano (Fiano di Avellino)

Gaudium is a radically unique expression of Fiano that might not appeal to everyone but that definitely shows careful craftsmanship and execution. The nose is redolent of crushed clove and exotic spice (aromas you’d almost expect to find in a red wine) closely followed by fresh melon, pear and peach. — M.L. (6/1/2011)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $20

This fascinating blend of Greco, Fiano and Falanghina (the great white grapes of Campania) is aged 8 months in oak to produce a thick, creamy wine, with spicy intensity and a candied fruit note. Notes of honey, butterscotch and apricot all play supporting roles. — M.L. (3/1/2013)

points

I Capitani 2008 Emè Red (Irpinia)

Editors' Choice

Price $25

Emè is a beautifully balanced blend of Aglianico, Merlot and Sangiovese. Its soft, velvety texture is spectacular, as are its generous aromas of cherry, black fruit, spice, leather and tobacco. There’s a touch of sharp freshness on the finish that pulls it all together. — M.L. (2/1/2013)

Aromas include cherry, cola, tar, licorice and red apple. The wine is already a bit brownish on its edges, so don’t wait long to drink it. — M.L. (10/1/2008)
