Winery - I Capitani
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
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.

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.

Jumara is an oak-driven wine that puts a lot of emphasis on spice, toast and smoke. There’s not much fresh fruit back there and the wine delivers gritty tannins and a thick, grainy texture.

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.

Gaudium has character and persistency and offers a very dry and mineral-driven interpretation of the southern Italian Fiano grape. The variety has good structure naturally and in this case it helps move the wine across the palate in a smooth and direct manner.

Here is an easy and straightforward Falanghina (with some Coda di Volpe) that offers sweet notes of yellow candy, peach fuzz, caramel and brown sugar. The wine is easy and fresh and could be served with hors d’oeuvres.

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.

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.

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.
