About

Capitoline blossomed naturally within the walls of Italian restaurants in Washington, DC, where Peter Pastan and Kat Hamidi first began making Italian-inspired vermouth (amongst other liqueurs and aromatized wines) in the mid-2000’s. They then spent several years creating, tinkering, tasting, and serving endless iterations until 2015, when Capitoline officially launched, and was warmly received. You can now find Capitoline Vermouth & Aperitivo at retailers and restaurants across the District, as well as in seven states and counting.
