Winery: Marco Capra Azienda Agricola
The estate is located in Santo Stefano Belbo, on the Seirole
hill between the Langhe and Monferrato districts. The main resource of the area
has always been the cultivation of the vine: the particular geological
conformation of the soil and its microclimate favor an optimal ripening of the
bunches and the acquisition of the typical organoleptic properties.
This is a small family-run company; the art of viniculture
is a wealth that the family has handed down for generations. The quality that
distinguishes the wine is determined by the control on the entire supply chain
from the vine to the bottle, through processes that follow the tradition while
promoting the innovation that distinguishes modern companies.
Today the company is managed by Marco Capra who has
succeeded in giving the right innovative boost typical of the new generations,
while continuing to observe the teachings and experience handed down by his
forefathers. The precious consulting skills of the oenologists Dante Scaglione
and Daniela Serra is a further guarantee for the production of the very best
quality wines.
Date Founded: 1945
Owner: Marco Capra
Winery Philosophy: "Wine is a piece of Art. We
make wine as artists create their artworks. We give voice to the grapes,
exalting them with our expertise."
Tommaso Capra, known as “Tumasin”, founded the estate in the hills of Santo
Stefano Belbo in 1945. Tommaso then handed down his experience and winemaking
culture to his son Luciano. Until the end of the 1980s, the primary activity of
the estate was the production of high quality wine sold in traditional
demijohns to the wholesalers.
In 1999 Marco, Luciano’s grandson, took over the company,
giving new energy to the business. Driven by a real passion for wine and an
aspiration to renewal and his youthful enthusiasm, Marco has carried on the
family tradition and contributed to its growth.
In 2014 Marco Capra decided to change the name “Azienda
Agricola Sanmarco” and started using his own name Marco Capra directly onto the
label to highlight his personal “touch”. The convincing result is visible in
the wines, which fully express the typicity of the territory and have succeeded
in gaining the increasing appreciation of both wine experts and wine
enthusiasts.
Winery Acreage: 44.5 acres
Winery Production: 5,000 / 9L cases
Varietals Produced: PINOT NOIR, CHARDONNAY, MOSCATO,
NASCETTA, DOLCETTO, BARBERA, NEBBIOLO
Winemaker: Marco Capra
Marco Capra was born in 1981 in Asti and has been living in
Santo Stefano Belbo since his birth. He started working with his grandfather
for a couple of years when he was 18. From 1996 to 1998 he learned to work the
land and the vineyards, while in 1999 he started working fulltime at the
winery. In 2001 the winery was renovated and in 2014 he personalized the name
of the label after his name. He is married to Monica and is a father of two
lovely kids of 7 and - Elisabetta and Riccardo.
Producing high quality wines is Marco Capra’s first goal,
and in order to achieve this, his personal commitment and work start in the
vineyard: “The vineyards are our most important capital and it is our job to
take care of them and work them in the most natural and eco-compatible way
possible”. Piedmont is renowned for its typical, richly traditional grape
varieties – Nascetta, Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera and Moscato.
The hills that give life to Marco Capra wines are those of
Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, a wonderful marriage between nature and man’s
work recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014. From the top of the
Seirole hill in Santo Stefano Belbo; Marco enjoys a spectacular view on the
vineyards which are perched on the gentle slopes, with the best exposition to
the sun’s rays and the breeze from the wind. The terroir is special, very rich
and able to give life to the great wines of the Piedmontese heritage.
Marco Capra Azienda Agricola produces mainly Piedmont’s
autochthonous wines to enjoy all the characteristics of the terroir. The
vineyards were chosen in the areas that are most suited to the cultivation of
the single grape varieties. Meticulous care and attention are given to the
vines, in the respect of agriculture techniques that allow to keep the yield
under control. Defensive treatments are carried out prioritizing products with
a low environmental impact.
The beginning of the harvest is decided by observing the degree of ripeness of
the grapes, their sugar and acid contents and their development over time on
the basis of the atmospheric conditions. The harvest usually starts at the end
of August, with the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes for sparkling wines,
whereas Moscato, Chardonnay and Nascetta grapes are harvested at the beginning
of September. Dolcetto and Barbera grapes are harvested between the end of
September and the beginning of October followed, in mid October, by Nebbiolo grapes.
The grapes are all harvested by hand, into small perforated crates. All the
phonological phases and the work in the vineyard are supervised by the
agronomist Angelo Cortese.
The cellar
The wine is born in the vineyard, but man is responsible for trying to best
transform the fruit that he receives after months of hard work in the vineyard.
The architectural structure and all the technical systems have been designed
and built to obtain the transformation of the grapes to the highest possible
levels.
The cellar is equipped with all the latest technology, yet it remains faithful
to the most traditional vinification processes.
Every step of the winemaking process - from the arrival of the grapes to
fermentation, maturation, bottling, aging and shipping - is supervised by Marco
Capra who, flanked by the oenologists Daniela Serra and Dante Scaglione,
oversees every single phase in order to achieve the best final result.

"One of the most ambitious Rueda whites, this comes from a selection of pre-phylloxera vineyards and is built to age. The oak is better integrated than on the 2015, which is also available in the market right now, supporting a wine with amazing intensity and focus. Nutty and intense, it has flavours of pear, citrus and marzipan, with undertones of fennel and cinnamon, good structure and racy, palate-cleansing acidity."

Long Shadows Feather Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 100 percent Washington State Cabernet.
Acclaimed Napa Valley vintner Randy Dunn has a reputation for producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. He brings more than four decades of winemaking experience to the Columbia Valley to produce Feather, his only wine made outside of California.
Tasting Notes: Deep crimson colored with pure and expressive Cabernet Sauvignon character. Generous aromas and flavors of dark fruits, violets, coffee and toasted herbs combine with a textured mid-palate to deliver a big, yet focused, wine with polished tannins and persistent finish.
Winemaking: Grapes were hand-harvested at the peak of ripeness, then lightly crushed and fermented in small stainless steel tanks. Once fermentation was underway, the cap was pumped over aggressively to extract color and structure. As fermentation neared completion, pump overs were handled more gently to further extract color and flavors without imparting harsh tannins. The finished wine was aged 22 months in 90% new Vicard French oak barrels (Randy's cooper of choice at Dunn Vineyards as well).
Alcohol: 14.4%
pH: 3.86
TA: 0.58 grams / 100ml
Review:
"Instantly impressive, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Feather opens to silky, fresh and fleshy dark red and black fruit tones with picturesque rich and ripe notions that sashay out of the glass with elegance, power and precision. World-class and devastatingly beautiful, the wine continues to somersault across the ever-evolving finish, and it will undoubtedly be well received upon its release. Mark your calendar now, and run, don’t walk to add this to your cellar. Just under 48,000 bottles were filled after the wine rested for 22 months in all French oak, 90% first fill. - Anthony MUELLER"
