It all began in 1971, when Arnaldo Caprai fulfilled a long-held dream and bought the Val di Maggio estate in the most beautiful part of Montefalco. The arrival of the young Marco Caprai at the company in 1988 marked a turning point. In a very short time, Marco Caprai took the winery to the top of Umbria’s wine industry, and today he is recognized as one of Italy’s finest producers.
In 2001, Marco Caprai received the award for “Italy’s best wine producer,” and in 2005, the Sagrantino di Montefalco Riserva 25 anni 2001 was named “Italy’s best wine of 2005.” As another major highlight, Caprai received the “Cantina dell‘anno 2006” award from Gambero Rosso and “European Winery of the Year 2012” from Wine Enthusiast.
