Rocco Pasetti is one of Abruzzo's winemaking pioneers, and his wines are unquestionably amongst the best in the region. The Caparrone range was created to offer three classic Abruzzo wines at great value. 'Caparrone' takes it's name from the district, in the hills west of Pescara, where Rocco developed his estate. In local Abruzzo dialect the word also means 'stubborn' or 'hard-headed' (the label was designed by Rocco's daughter Perla).
