The Caprai family comes from Montefalco in Umbria. Textile entrepreneur Arnaldo Caprai bought the Val di Maggio estate in 1971 and began cultivating Sagrantino. His son, Marco Caprai, subsequently took over the winemaking, combining local tradition with research, experimentation and innovative methods.
