  Capena - LoveToKnow 1911
CAPENA, an ancient city of southern Etruria, frequently mentioned with Veii and Falerii.
According to Cato it was a colony of the former, and in the wars betweenVeii and Romeitappears as dependent upon Veii, after the fall of which town, however, it became subject to Rome.
But there are difficulties in the way of this assumption, and it is more probable that the Lucus Feroniae is to be sought at or near Nazzano, where, in the excavation of a circular building which some conjecture to have been the actual temple of Feronia, inscriptions relating to a municipality were found.

The zone includes the whole of the communal territory of Capena and parts of those of Fiano Romano, Morlupo and Castelnuovo di Porto.
The Bianco Capena is obtained from the classic grape mixture of the Castelli Romani district, a combination of various clones of Malvasia-di Candia, del Lazio and Toscana-and of Trebbiano-toscano, romagnolo and giallo.
The Bianco Capena is a good white wine for consumption with meals but it seems to have suffered somewhat from competition on the Rome market with the more renowned wines of the Castelli, which are often selected by the consumer because of their reputation rather than because they are intrinsically superior in quality.
