Visit Caprili - Az. Agr. Caprili's Website
The Caprili property comprises about 49 hectares, located in the south-west part of the Montalcino territory. It lies one kilometre away from the Pieve di Santa Restituta church on the slopes of the hill leading down to the Orcia and the Ombrone rivers. The location is particularly privileged for it is right in the heart of the Brunello and Rosso production zone.
The area under vine totals 12.5 hectares, with 11.5 hectares planted to Sangiovese for the production of Brunello and Rosso; 0.5 hectares planted to Trebbiano and Malvasia for Sant'Antimo, whose recently acquired DOC status completes the panorama of great Montalcino wines; and 0.5 hectares planted to Moscadello, a white variety whose name continues the story of a wine that was already famous four centuries ago.
The average age of the plants in the vineyard for Brunello is around ten years but a significant proportion of the vine stock is more than twenty years old. But apart from the age of the vines, another crucial factor for wine quality is the deliberately low yield, which is kept to 1.5 kg per vine, or 65 quintals of grapes per hectare.
Caprili also produces a premium-quality Olive Oil. Olive groves account for a total of 3.5 hectares of the estate, the varieties grown being the local Frantoio, Moraiolo and Leccino olives.
The climate and geographical location (330 m above sea level), together with rigorous criteria of selection and production, contribute to making this oil – exclusively extravirgin from cold first pressing – outstandingly aromatic and flavoursome, with a very low percentage of acidity (less than 0.5). The oil’s flavour is ideal for all the recipes of the traditional local kitchen and its properties are recommended by the latest findings of modern food sciences. In terms of quality, Caprili oil is on a par with Brunello wine, and together they make up a gastronomic combination of supreme excellence.
Finally, the vigour and class of our Brunello Grappas complete the range of Caprili products. All the aromas and body of Brunello wine can be savoured in this distillate from an illustrious tradition
