Di Capriamo Italian Red
Multi regional Italian reds, poured in Commack for three decades.
The story behind Di Capriamo
Di Capriamo is not one estate. It is a selector, bottling classic varietal wines from the regions that made them famous: Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Primitivo di Manduria in Puglia, Brunello di Montalcino in Tuscany, Barolo in Piedmont. Each bottle follows the local DOC and DOCG playbook rather than a house style, so the Abruzzo red tastes of Abruzzo and the Puglia red tastes of Puglia.
The Montepulciano comes from organically grown grapes, and the Barolo sees oak cask aging for the tobacco and leather notes Nebbiolo is supposed to give you. We have poured these across our Commack counter for years. Founder and founding year are not published in distributor registries, so we will not invent them.

Which Di Capriamo is right for you?
Di Capriamo pricing runs from everyday to occasion, and we keep it honest. The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Organic sits at $14.99, which is weeknight pasta money for an organic bottling. Primitivo di Manduria is $19.99, and Nebbiolo d'Alba lands in the low twenties. Barolo is $29.99 when we have it, and it moves fast, so call the store before you drive over. Brunello di Montalcino is $35.99, the top of the range and the one to open for a braise.
$14.99 organic red that handles tomato sauce and sausage without complaint.
Ripe Puglia fruit and warm finish stand up to charred meat and smoke.
Sangiovese Grosso with tannin and acid built to age past a decade.
Di Capriamo cocktails and pairings
Serve these at 60 to 65 degrees and decant the Barolo or Brunello 30 to 60 minutes. The lighter two want food, not a cocktail shaker.
