"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
