A Capitello

The name “Capitello” refers to the traditional Italian shrine that hosts a statue of a saint or Mother Mary and is positioned in the vineyard to bless the vines and the people who live within the vineyard. Choosing this name to define the brand was Ray’s way of abandoning the egoism of the industry by opting not to use name on the label. Instead he has created an image that symbolized his own unique characteristics, a “New World” winemaker from under the Southern Cross bringing new ideas, new approach, and a refreshing style of craft.
