Roma received Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) status in 2011 and they are producing remarkable wines. Tenimenti Leone’s Capomunni is more than a blend of Italian and international grapes, it is a blend of new and old world styles. The black and red fruit is both sweet and desiccated with balanced earthiness that shows tobacco and leather. This wine will be a hit for American palates while still preserving enough earthiness to show off its old world roots.
