Azienda Agricola Simone Capecci

From Ripatransone, in the Piceno area of Marche, Simone Capecci's winery manages six protected denominations, all gravitating towards the Abruzzo region. It's a mosaic of distinct terroirs: Villamagna, where Montepulciano rests for at least ten months; Controguerra, which branches into red, rosé, and white; and the broader areas that produce Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, Cerasuolo, and the regional appellation Abruzzo. The common thread is technical rather than stylistic: altitude and soil composition shape the expression of these red and white grape varieties across zones that extend over many municipalities, while minimum alcohol levels and styles remain fixed by each disciplinary. The winery is open for tastings, and it is here that the range makes sense: by tasting in sequence, one can grasp how the same Montepulciano changes its voice when moving from one denomination to another, and how the white Trebbiano interacts with the rosés. A stop allows one to interpret six rules in as many glasses.
