Bianco Capena DOC

A near extinct white DOC from the Tiber valley north of Rome, created in the 1970s when the local cooperative still bottled in volume. The blend is the usual Roman formula: Malvasia and Trebbiano with a little Bellone, giving a soft, floral, faintly bitter white with low acid, meant to be drunk within the year. Recent production is close to zero and official statistics list only a few hectares.

Still hunting

I'm still looking for a bottle of this.

If you make Bianco Capena, import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.

Can you help me get one?

The local cooperative is the historical source of the DOC; bottlings are sporadic and sold locally if at all, so verify before travelling for it.
