For this selection of Rosso Piceno Superiore Capecci chose the Latin name of the woodpecker, symbol of the Piceni’s culture.
These 20-25 yr old grapes are grown in the res tricted area of Rosso Piceno D.O.C. in Abuzzo. Fermentation and maceration in Inox steel for 2 weeks and aged in french oak barrels for 12-15 months. Aromatic and complex nose of cherry and plum blends with a smidge of cinnamon and licorice. Full bodied, strong tannins, harmonious.
Capecci says
"(this wine) likes reading. Walnut paneling, a shelf, a warm light, a comfortable armchair.." And we say yes to that.
