Capra Marco Doppiadi Barbera d'Asti is made from 100 percent Barbera.
Azienda Agricola Marco Capra was founded in 1945 by Tommaso Capra in the hills of Santo Stefano Belbo, in Piedmont, and today Marco Capra farms some eighteen hectares across the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato.

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.

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.

Es Lo Que Hay Garnacha is made from 95% Garnacha, 5% Moristel, Miguel de Arco and Provechón (Bobal). 75 to 100 year old vines.
“ES LO QUE HAY - it is what it is. A common Spanish expression, but one I like to reserve for the few old high altitude Garnacha vineyards that survive in Aragon . What you taste in the bottle is a true expression of what there is in the vineyard. It´s as simple as that.”
High altitude ancient vineyards (75-100 years) at 1,000 to 1,100 meters above sea level with Pizarra slate and quartzite soils. Completely dry grown and unirrigated, this is an inhospitable continental climate with extreme changes of temperature where mountain herbs, almonds, cherry trees and Garnacha form a breathtaking patchwork. Low annual rainfall of 200-300mm and the remarkable soils produce fine and elegant Garnacha which is punctuated by intense black fruit flavors with complex mineral, smoke and garrigue notes.
Review:
"The red 2019 Es Lo Que Hay is mostly old-vine Garnacha with 5% other grapes, mostly Moristel with a little Miguel de Arco and some Provechón (Bobal), from very stony old vineyards in the village of Villarroya de la Sierra. The grapes fermented together with 20% full clusters in concrete and were destemmed after a five-day cold soak with the natural yeasts; then the wine matured mostly in concrete with some leftovers in Flextank egg for 15 months. It's ripe without excess (14.26% real alcohol), balanced by low pH and good acidity and has a powerful Mediterranean profile, round and full-bodied, with hints of dry hay and straw and a touch of dark chocolate. The 2019s are evolving nicely and should have a positive development in bottle, and this is a good example. 8,270 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2020. - Luis Gutiérrez"
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (November 2021), 93 pts
"The 2019 Garnacha Vinas Viejas is just about all Grenache (there are small amounts of Moristel, Miguel de Arco, and Bobal) from ancient vines that saw a touch of stems and aging in concrete tanks. This plump, medium to full-bodied, round, downright sexy beauty gives up lots of ripe red and black fruits as well as peppery spice, herbes de Provence, and sandalwood. It's balanced, has supple, incredibly polished tannins, no hard edges, and is just a beautiful Garnacha that has so much to love. It will keep for 5-7 years, if not longer."
