Italy
The aim of Cantina Valle Tritana, the firm behind the brand Capostrano, is to select and market products both of quality and favorable price, and it starts out with the Montepulciano wine from the Abruzzo region in Italy. The name chosen for the winery was not a coincidence, the Tritana Valley is located right in the heart of the Abruzzo region, in the foothills of the Gran Sasso Mountains. The surrounding area of the Tritana Valley has a special microclimate with warm days and cold nights. The considerable temperature differences between night and day, together with the favourable windy nature of the territory ensure a perfect microclimate for the growing of grapes of an extraordinary quality. The Montepulciano varietal has been cultivated in this area since ancient times and it still is an important part of the regional agricultural economy. Angelo Sansone’s project aims to contribute to the economic growth and cultural development of this area by enhancing the specific character of the local Montepulciano and Trebbiano d’Abruzzo. The line of affordable, accessible wines extends to Passerina and Verdicchio di Matelica from Le Marche region.
