In 1989, Marco launched the "Sagrantino Project" in collaboration with the University of Milan, with the specific goal of researching Sagrantino, a native grape from Montefalco which was pretty much unknown. From the very early stages of his career, he took on the role of Director for the Consorzio Tutela Vini DOC Montefalco and helped writing the regulations for the newly formed DOCG Montefalco Sagrantino, which will come in 1992. After this important milestone, Marco starts a very long journey, which still is ongoing as we speak, of taking on multiple roles for prominent institutions in the area of agriculture, promotion of the territory, culture and innovation. Confagricoltura, Milan Expo, Strada del Sagrantino just to name a few.

Arnaldo Caprai is a leading producer of Montefalco Sagrantino, a grape variety that has been cultivated in Umbria for nearly 500 years, but almost disappeared in the 1960s. Arnaldo's son, Marco Caprai, has led efforts to revitalize the Montelfalco Sagrantino variety which today it is regarded as one of Italy's noble grapes. He discusses the history and characteristics of this grape and shares two vintages of Arnaldo Caprai's Spinning Beauty 100% Montefalco Sagrantino. www.arnaldocaprai.it

La cantina Arnaldo Caprai - fondata nel 1971 - ha sempre creduto nelle enormi potenzialità del Sagrantino, soprattutto quando erano in pochi a Montefalco a dedicarsi alla sua produzione. Con l'arrivo di Marco Caprai, che dal 1988 guida con successo questa straordinaria cantina Umbra, il Sagrantino e Montefalco iniziano un nuovo viaggio e una nuova vita alla conquista del mondo. Il monumentale Montefalco Sagrantino 25 Anni 2009 - emblema della rinascita di questo territorio - è il migliore vino di maggio 2014.
