Caprai Arnaldo

Arnaldo Caprai is hands-down one of the country’s leading Sagrantino producers. Founded in 1971 by textile entrepreneur, Arnaldo Caprai, the estate was soon passed down to his son, Marco in 1988. Today, the property is home to 150 hectares – 90 of which are currently under vine – close to the Montefalco, Gualdo Cattaneo and Bevagna villages. Focusing on Sagrantino - the region’s native grape - that has been cultivated in Montefalco for over 400 years, the family produces wines under the Montefalco DOC, Grechetto dei Colli Martani DOC, and the Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG. Robert Parker notes, “No matter how you slice it, he (Marco Caprai) is a formidable ambassador for Umbria, Sagrantino and, of course, his brand. He is one of the most talented wine promoters and communicators in Italy today.”
