Caprettone

Caprettone: the Vesuvius soul of the selection

The Caprettone collection by Italian Wine Selection brings together labels that tell the most authentic face of Vesuvius, featuring still white wines and classic method sparkling wines. Caprettone is a grape variety deeply linked to this volcanic territory and gives rise to wines with a strong identity, characterized by freshness, mineral energy, and a clear aromatic profile.

This selection includes different interpretations, from the most immediate and territorial versions to refermented wines and sparkling wines, with the aim of offering a complete reading of this grape variety and its most interesting expressions. The presence of denominations such as Vesuvio DOC, Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Bianco DOC, and Vesuvio Caprettone Bianco DOP enhances the connection between grape, soil, and landscape.

A grape variety that speaks of Vesuvius

Caprettone is appreciated for its balance between freshness, sapidity, and structure. In still wines, a vertical character emerges, with citrus notes, Mediterranean herbs, and a pleasant mineral imprint. In sparkling wines, on the other hand, the grape variety shows a more dynamic side, with tight bubbles and a smooth drinkability that enhances its versatility at the table.

This collection includes labels such as Aryete Vesuvio Caprettone DOC Casa Setaro, Vesuvio Caprettone Bianco DOP Saettone 2022 Le Lune del Vesuvio, Pietrafumante Caprettone Spumante Metodo Classico, and Pietrafumante Caprettone Spumante Metodo Classico MAGNUM, along with versions like Spumante Metodo classico Caprettone MAGNUM and Pietrafumante Brut Nature VSQ 2019 Casa Setaro. Alongside these, there are also whites from Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio, for a complete and coherent picture of the territory.

The wineries present in the collection

Among the producers in the selection stand out Casa Setaro Vinicola and Tenuta Le Lune del Vesuvio Parisi Grazia, entities that interpret Caprettone with different yet complementary styles. Their labels enhance both the more territorial and traditional dimension as well as the more modern one, linked to sparkling wine production and the pursuit of precision.

Pairings and occasions for consumption

Caprettone is a very interesting wine at the table: it pairs well with seafood appetizers, fried dishes, raw seafood, first courses of the sea, and Mediterranean cuisine recipes. The still versions also lend themselves to vegetable dishes, fresh cheeses, and flavorful yet delicate preparations. The sparkling wines, on the other hand, are ideal as an aperitif and with fish-based dishes, where the freshness of the grape variety meets the clarity of the sip.

If you are looking for wines that combine territorial identity, personality, and great drinkability, the Caprettone selection is the ideal starting point to discover a Vesuvius grape variety capable of surprising in multiple styles and interpretations.
