The daily work of the Arnaldo Caprai winery is guided by attention to tradition, an inclination for innovation through experimentation in the field of agronomics and oenology, and knowledge of the land.

The brothers Filippo and Ettore Finetto, founders of Garbole, see it as their mission to produce wine in a unique, unrepeatable way. An independent philosophy underlies this wine founded in 1994. The winery continues to this day with the same charge and passion, striving for constant improvement to obtain fine red wines.

Based in the province of Perugia, in the heart of the municipality of Montefalco, this company was founded in 1971 by a textile businessman - Arnaldo Caprai - who decided to follow his dream and produce wine. In 1988, he handed the reins of the company over to his son, Marco, who, with enthusiasm and dedication, added that extra drive that led to the final recognition of his products on the wine scene.

Sagrantino di Montefalco: Caprai's special wine

In 1993, the Sagrantino di Montefalco selection (which celebrated the company’s 25th anniversary) finally and undisputedly sealed Marco Caprai’s reputation as a great Italian wine producer.

Today, 40 years after its foundation, the company has made huge progress in terms of experimentation and research and also in the agronomic and oenological field, while still preserving its original identity and guiding principles of tradition, innovation and territory.

The vineyards and winery are in Garbole, a town in the municipality of Tregnago near Verona, in the Illasi valley, between Soave and Valpolicella. The Finetto brothers describe themselves as “self-taught, innovators outside the box” and, over the years, have enthusiastically and resolutely pursued a clear, well-defined project.

Their aim is to produce wines with a clear identity that reflects the linchpins of their Garbole philosophy: “Only nature and man’s work go into the bottle: and people before wine, value before price, and wine before the label.” This philosophy is perfectly embodied by Garbole's wines: Heletto Rosso Veneto IGT., with its vitality and passion, boldness and reflection; Hatteso Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva DOC, with a balance between strength and softness; HESTREMO Recioto della Valpolicella DOC, “a link between past and present, reminding us who we are and where we come from. It evokes the memories, thoughts and emotions that lurk in the most ancestral depths of our being” and finally, the latest addition to the Garbole family, a limited edition Hurlo, which needs to be ordered in advance, “as breath of spirit expressed in liquid form that reaches the profoundest depths of our emotions."
