"Caposaldo was created in honor of the Roman Empire's most famous racing horse of the Circus Maximus. Competing for an astounding 24 years and winning 1,500 of his over 4,000 races, this horse gained the favor of Emperor Nero, who anointed the horse 'Caposaldo'. In today's modern world, the classic icon of the horse still resonates as a symbol of superior achievement and quality. Standing as a benchmark of classic Italian wines from select regions of Italy, Caposaldo blends the best of a family, handcrafted artisanal approach to winemaking with modern quality standards and techniques." —winemaker

"Carefully cultivated, first in the vineyards and later in the cellar, this vintage is rich with a mouth-coating texture and flavors of warm pie crust, plum, and blueberries, culminating in a melted tannin finish. Aromas also present notes of cranberry and blueberry compote, roasted nuts, and dark chocolate. A delicious Pinot Noir for any occasion." —winemaker

"With a brilliant, silver- and straw-yellow hue, this Chardonnay rises out of the glass with intense apple, ripe pear and sweet lemon drop scents. These aromas are complemented by toasty oak, spice and butter notes from barrel and malolactic fermentation. The palate is bright and juicy, with rich, ripe, apple and pear flavors a long, fresh aftertaste. The texture is silky-smooth, with a creaminess achieved by hand-stirring the lees during barrel aging." -winemaker

"A Luca Maroni 2016 “Wine of the Year”, this 70% Primitivo/30% Negroamaro blend was rated 98 points and Best Italian Red Wine. Negroamaro grapes are partially dried, and then blended with Primitivo grapes, then aged in French oak barrels. This process gives the wine a ripe cherry, super rich and complex finish." —importer
