Caprili

Caprili is a winery in Montalcino, where the Bartolommei family arrived in the early twentieth century. In 1911, the family moved to Podere Poggi, working land on the Villa Santa Restituta estate as sharecroppers. They settled at Caprili as sharecroppers in 1952, then Alberto and his son Alfo bought the property in 1965 and planted its first vineyard, Madre. Caprili bottled its first Brunello di Montalcino in 1978, followed by its first Brunello di Montalcino Riserva in 1983.

The estate lies in the southwestern part of Montalcino municipality, on a hillside sloping towards the Orcia and Ombrone rivers. It grows Sangiovese Grosso, Trebbiano, Malvasia, Vermentino and Moscadello. Its wines include AdAlberto Riserva Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, which comes from the Madre vineyard planted in 1965.
