Capri DOC is a white wine known for its bright, straw yellow color. It has a fresh and delicate aroma, characterized by fruity and floral notes, particularly of green apple and white flowers. On the palate, it is dry, harmonious, and well-balanced, with a light body and crisp acidity.

History

The history of Capri DOC dates back to the ancient Romans, who were the first to cultivate vines on the island of Capri. The wine was appreciated for its quality and was often served at lavish banquets. Over the centuries, the tradition of winemaking has been kept alive by the island's inhabitants. Capri DOC was officially recognized as a denomination of controlled origin (DOC) in 1971.

Geographical Production Area

Capri DOC is produced exclusively on the island of Capri, located in the Tyrrhenian Sea in the Campania region of Italy. The island's unique microclimate, characterized by mild winters and warm, dry summers, along with its volcanic soil rich in minerals, provides ideal conditions for vine cultivation. The vines are typically grown on terraces built on the island's steep slopes, which allows for maximum sun exposure.
