The History

It was 1945 when Tommaso Capra, known as “Tumasin”, established the estate among the hills of Santo Stefano Belbo. Tommaso then handed down his experience and winemaking culture to his son Luciano. Until the end of the 1980s, the main 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 running of the Estate, ploughing new energy into the business; encouraged by a real passion for wine, together with ambition for 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 start 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 vocation of the territory and have succeeded in gaining the increasing appreciation of both wine experts and wine enthusiasts.
