Capoverso Wines

Sort By:

Capoverso 2003 Sangiovese (Vino Nobile di Montepulciano)

It’s easy to appreciate the almond marzipan and black berry fruit aromas that characterize this ripe, ruby red. Other aromas of Indian spice, roasted chestnut and rubber put in brief appearances and add layers of complexity. This is an approachable, food-friendly Tuscan red. — M.L. (5/1/2007)

Capoverso 2005 Capoverso Sangiovese (Toscana)

Price $22

Here’s a simple but genuine Sangiovese from the Montepulciano area that delivers measured notes of blueberry, spice, tobacco and leather. It’s a no-fuss red that is both lean and bright on the palate. — M.L. (4/1/2008)

Capoverso 2004 Red (Toscana)

This (mainly) Sangiovese does have a small Syrah component that explains its thicker texture and tighter tannins. The wine also seems on the ripe side with aromas that recall berry preserves and strawberry backed by almond paste and tobacco. — M.L. (4/1/2008)

Capoverso 2005 Sangiovese (Rosso di Montepulciano)

Fresh cherries, blackberries and blueberries come through loud and clear and are backed by almond nuttiness and mild toast. This is an attractive, fruity and fresh wine of medium consistency that would make a perfect match to grilled meats or lasagna. — M.L. (5/1/2007)
