Fornacina Brunello di Montalcino 2000 – Decanter Award Wine of the Year! December 2005

GAMBERO ROSSO

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."

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.
