Arnaldo Caprai Story
This family-owned winery began in 1971 when textiles entrepreneur Arnaldo Caprai purchased 12.5 acres in Montefalco. In 1988, ownership passed on to Arnaldo’s son, Marco, who began the project to cultivate the promotion of the grape that has been growing in the Montefalco region for more than 400 years: Sagrantino. Today, the winery is the leading producer of top quality Sagrantino di Montefalco, a wine produced exclusively from this native variety. In addition to its commitment to quality, Arnaldo Caprai is recognized for its dedication to environmental, economic and social sustainability, as well as being champions for the wines of Umbria.

Umbria
Umbria, often called Italy’s “green heart,” is a small but lush wine region nestled in the country’s center. Home to bold Sagrantino and crisp whites like Grechetto and Trebbiano Spoletino, Umbria boasts wine traditions as deep-rooted as those of its Tuscan neighbor.
