WINERY OF THE YEAR! "Mister Sagrantino" Marco Caprai
"This is a prestigious recognition which celebrates and honors the work that we
have done so far," comments Marco Caprai, who heads the winery. "This is proof
that, at the end of the 80’s, when we bet on native grapes, we were right.
Through our research and experiments with the Sagrantino grape, an exact and
correct strategy was developed strongly connected to both the innovation and
tradition of our region."

10 Italian Varieties You Need to Know: Sagrantino
In the realm of indigenous varieties, Sagrantino is a unique phenomenon. Its
existence is limited to pinpoint areas in landlocked Umbria. It is one of
Italy’s hottest indigenous varieties, often commanding $40 or more per bottle.

QUARTERLY REVIEW OF WINE
On the Verge – Umbria’s Sagrantino di Montefalco is destined to be Italy’s
Next Great Red wine
According to Marco Caprai, The Sagrantino grape is genetically unlike any other
varieties cultivated in Umbria and it has a flavor profile all its own. The
2001 vintage of Caprai’s Sagrantino 25 Anni was rated the top wine in Italy
last year beating out far more famous producers, such as Gaja, Antinori and a
host of others. For a wine producing area that outside Italy remains virtually
unknown, and which within Italy, was thought negligible until ten years ago,
this is an amazing accomplishment, and it means that attention must be paid.

FOOD & WINE
Marco Caprai – Sagrantino savior of Italy Marco Caprai took
charge of his family’s Arnaldo Caprai wine estate in 1989 at the age of 21- and
within a few years made the sleepy village of Montefalco and its little-known
local grape, Sagrantino, famous. His viticultural research revealed that the
grape contains more flavor components than any other in Italy. His winemaking
prowess helped transform that intensely spicy fruit into prized bottlings like
the Sagrantino di Montefalco 25 Anni.
