Caprili
Caprili winery, located in the enchanting scenery of the territory of Montalcino, was established in 1965 by Alfo Bartolommei and has always been bound to a classic and traditional style. After years of hard work and sacrifices, in 1965 Alfo from a simple sharecropper became the owner of Podere Caprili, historical property of Castelli-Martinozzi family, owners of Tenuta Villa Santa Restituta, planting the first vineyard, nicknamed Madre, and still active today. Today Caprili's winery has 15 hectares of vineyards, most of which are cultivated with Sangiovese Grosso, from which the famous Brunello di Montalcino is produced, and is located at an altitude ranging from 225 to 340 meters above sea level. The south-west exposure, on the slope that descends towards the rivers Orcia and Ombrone, the soil of Eocene origin, very stony and rich in minerals, the dry, ventilated and sunny climate, are the factors that favor a perfect ripening of the grapes. Interventions in the vineyard and in the cellar are reduced to a minimum to allow nature, very generous in these places, to express itself at its best. Today, next to Alfo, always in the forefront, we find at Caprili's management his sons Paolo, Manuele and Paola and Giacomo, representative of the third generation, who, with great commitment and competence, work hard to produce wines of very high quality. Their goal is to reduce more and more chemical treatments, moving towards an organic and biodynamic perspective. The inauguration of the new winery moves in this direction, step by step, continuing a glorious history of wine and great Brunello that has been going on for half a century.
