Sort By:

Capestrano 2001 Red (Montepulciano d'Abruzzo)

Best Buy

Price $10

This is what this wine style is all about. You get a sweet, syrupy, deep nose and then lots of fruit on the palate followed by an incredibly dense, dark, chocolaty finish. It’s a full-force express, bold, zippy and solid. — M.S. (10/1/2004)

Capestrano 2006 Montepulciano (Montepulciano d'Abruzzo)

Online Exclusive

Price $13

There’s an attractive, fruity quality to this wine that comes off in layers of cherry fruit, blueberry, almond paste and spice. Made with the robust Montepulciano grape, this wine takes a more delicate and tender approach. — M.L. (2/1/2009)

Capestrano 2008 Passerina (Marche)

Price $12

This bright white wine opens with a touch of crushed mint or basil followed by fruity tones of peach, citrus and peach. It’s an easy, compact wine that would wash down well with steamed mussels or baked clams. — M.L. (11/1/2011)

Capestrano 2009 Montepulciano (Montepulciano d'Abruzzo)

Online Exclusive

Price $13

Here’s a fresh, informal and food-friendly wine that begs for pizza or take-out. The wine shows simple but pristine aromas of red cherry and plum. — M.L. (6/1/2012)

Capestrano 2008 Montepulciano (Montepulciano d'Abruzzo)

Online Exclusive

Price $13

This is a light, fresh expression, with foxy notes of fresh grapes, violets, wild strawberries and blueberries. Its bright berry freshness makes this a good appetizer or lunch red wine. — M.L. (6/1/2012)

Capestrano 2009 Passerina (Marche)

Here’s an easy, no-fuss white wine from central Italy (made with native Passerina grapes) that offers subtle aromas of peach and citrus over a bright, zesty mouthfeel. Pair this wine with fried vegetable tempura. — M.L. (3/1/2012)
