Caprettone

Caprettone is a white grape variety native to the slopes of Mount Vesuvius in Campania, southern Italy. Once thought to be a synonym of Coda di Volpe, it is now recognised as a distinct variety, producing fresh, mineral driven wines that reflect the volcanic soils of the Vesuvio DOC area.
