The history of the Caprai winery began in 1971 when Arnaldo Caprai, a successful textile entrepreneur, bought forty-five hectares in Montefalco with the intention of continuing the business story.
In 1988, the company's management passed into the hands of his son Marco who, with great passion, launched a project to valorise Sagrantino, an indigenous grape variety with enormous production potential. The continuous search for qualitative excellence and the strong commitment to research and development set the international success of Sagrantino di Montefalco and of the Arnaldo Caprai company, which quickly became one of the most important production realities in the world.
The constant search for process innovation and applied experimentation have guided the company towards a dynamic and modern agriculture, based on a deep technical/agronomic knowledge of the territory and the use of innovative management technologies. The improvement of environmental, economic and social sustainability becomes a constant commitment of the company, which adheres to the New Green Revolution sustainability protocol. Read more
