I Capitani Wines

Sort By:

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)

I Capitani 2004 Bosco Faiano Aglianico (Taurasi)

Price $39

I Capitani, a dynamic family-run winery not far from Taurasi, opts for a traditional wine that puts more emphasis on elegance and complexity and less focus on brawn and power. 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)

I Capitani 2004 Emè Red (Irpinia)

Online Exclusive

Price $27

I Capitani, a family-run winery in Irpinia, delivers an elegant blend of Aglianico, Piedirosso and Sangiovese with well-balanced aromas of cherry, raspberry, blue flower and Indian spice. The wine has bright berry flavors, sticky tannins and a long, succulent finish. — M.L. (5/1/2009)

I Capitani 2009 Serum Greco (Greco di Tufo)

Serum opens with dusty mineral aromas backed by stone fruit, white peach, tangerine skin and almond paste. The really nice thing about this wine is the polished, drying feel it imparts on the close. — M.L. (6/1/2011)

I Capitani 2003 Bosco Faiano Aglianico (Taurasi)

Price $39

Here’s a traditional, old school Taurasi with bright notes of apple skin and red berry that add buoyancy and freshness. The wine is drinkable and approachable (not always an easy feat for Aglianico) and leaves a long endnote of dusty tannins. — M.L. (10/1/2008)

I Capitani 2007 Emè Red (Irpinia)

This is a unique wine from an area of Italy that rarely does blended varieties. The grapes used here are Aglianico, Piedirosso and Sangiovese and the aromas include soy sauce, cola, root beer and barbecue sauce. A little strange and probably not for everyone. — M.L. (6/1/2011)

I Capitani 2006 Faius White (Irpinia)

Price $25

Here’s a smoky, nutty blend of Greco and Fiano with a flat, broad approach and well-integrated notes of pear, Golden Delicious apple and honey. The wine tastes soft and thick and makes a excellent impression on the palate. — M.L. (10/1/2008)

I Capitani 2007 Serum Greco di Tufo (Greco di Tufo)

Price $20

This luminous Greco di Tufo offers beautiful tones of stone fruit, pear, Golden Delicious apple, herb and white stone. The wine is fresh and fragrant with a polished feel and a crisp close. — M.L. (10/1/2008)
