Now Viewing: Caprai (Arnaldo) Wines
In the late 1980s, a young Marco Caprai turned a family hobby into a radical movement and produced legendary wines securing Umbria's place in the world of wine. Before Marco's efforts, the Sagrantino grape was relatively unknown, as was the small hillside town of Montefalco. Nothing would indicate the tremendous turnaround this once dormant zone would achieve. Marco took the lead and invested in the land, applying the results of painstaking research (with assistance from the University of Milan) on the indigenous varietal. The result has brought international attention to the high-tech Montefalco estate and its slick, big red wines. The Company estate extends for about 150 hectares (370 acres) 90 of which (about 220 acres) are currently in production.The vineyards are located in the area of Montefalco, Gualdo Cattaneo and Bevagna.
