Their wine-making success has been noted by Gambero Rosso who has awarded their most prestigious award, the “Tre Bicchieri” (Three Glasses), year after year to the Caprai estate. Marco Caprai began managing the family winery in 1989 after studying enology and the enological history of their region. His goal was to revive the best indigenous varietals while experimenting with new varieties and techniques to best express the capabilities of their vineyard sites. In 2001, Marco was named “Best Italian Producer of the Year” by the Italian Sommelier Association for his success in respecting the long tradition of Italian wine-making while incorporating innovative research and technology practices. In 2005, Caprai was named the “Winery of the Year” by Gambero Rosso, the most important and most consulted wine guide in Italy.
