Capalbio DOC
No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
A catch-all DOC for the far southern Maremma around the walled town of Capalbio, better known for its beaches and the Tarot Garden than its wine. Reds are Sangiovese-based or varietal Cabernet, ripe and sunny with plum, blackberry, dried herbs and soft tannin; whites are Vermentino or Trebbiano, simple and saline. Most local estates bottle under Maremma Toscana DOC instead, so this name is rare even in Italy.

I'm still looking for a bottle of this.
If you make Capalbio, import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.
