Our history
Since 1974, the passion for wine...
The
Cantine Capitani company was founded in 1974 with the name “Trevignano Vino”, in Trevignano Romano on the northern outskirts of Rome. The vines grown in the area featured native vines such as Trebbiano, Greco, Malvasia, Sangiovese and Montepulciano. The first winery in the country, with the first two labels, still in existence, of the blends of native Trebbiano and Malvasia vines for the "LacusTre Bianco" and Sangiovese for the "LacusTre Rosso". In mid-2000 the "young" Capitani entered the world of international vines.
Starting with Merlot and Syrah, vines that have taken root well in these volcanic lands, refined both in their young form in steel and more aged in wood, we then continued with the international whites, Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Viognier; keeping the name of the vine that composes it in purity on the label. Furthermore, the natives are being rediscovered such as... Cesanese d'Affile, offered in a single variety aged in wood as the first vintage in 2018. In 2009 Trevignano Vino also introduced Extra Virgin Olive Oil, pleasant, delicate, with a typical taste and aroma of the variety of the area. Furthermore, thanks to the meeting with an artisanal distiller from the region, he offers a Sangiovese grape distillate, a soft and enveloping wine distillate.
Cantine Capitani, is the new name of the company which since 2015 has decided to validate the efforts of that same "Capitani" family who has always believed in the wine and grapes of their lands, so much so as to honor this fruit with their care and own work, creating increasingly high-quality labels.
Production takes place in a large warehouse, along the hills of Lake Bracciano, where the adjacent vineyard lends itself to the organization of company visits complete with tours and tastings. The recognition for the territory is found in the point of sale where there is a selection of artisanal and local products, from sweet to savory, excellent in combination with the production wines. The company aims to provide the best service to customers, who can find the wines directly at the point of sale.
