Caposaldo Prosecco - N.V.(W-1202)

Caposaldo Prosecco
Dry, Crisp On the Sweet Side

Winery Story

Caposaldo is named in memory of the Roman Empire’s most famous racing horse and Gaius, the charioteer who drove him on Rome’s celebrated... (more...) track, the Circus Maximus. Competing for an astounding 24 years and winning 1,500 of his over 4,000 races, Gaius and his devoted horse gained the favor of Emperor Nero, who anointed the horse “Caposaldo” and immortalized him in the form of a brooch for his love, Sabina. This is the image you see today on the Caposaldo wine label.

Tasting Note

Pale straw with greenish undertones; fruity aroma with citrus, green apple and acacia flowers. A pleasant acidity, freshness and full-bodied... (more...) flavor make this a perfect wine to drink as an appetitive or with an antipasto or dinner.
