ENODELTA di Antonio Caputo

The winery, Enodelta, is owned and operated by Mr. Antonio Caputo. Located in the town of Afragola, near Naples, the company follows an ancient family tradition of winemaking. It was in the 1930s that Mr. Caputo’s grandfather started producing and selling unbottled local vintage wines.
In a few years, the business had grown considerably, reaching some of the highest production levels in the region. Currently, the company is registered at the C.C.I.A.A. of Naples as an enological company.

Most recently, thanks to the utilization of an industrial bottling system, the company has won large market shares in Italy. It numbers among its most important clients the Italian Army, together with other governmental institutions. With its presence abroad, Enodelta has also contributed to the reaffirming of the great tradition of Italian wines.

During the 1980s Mr. Antonio Caputo took control of the winery from his grandfather. Inheriting the tenacity and managerial skills of the Caputo family, Antonio has completely devoted himself to the company. During 1986, Mr. Caputo decided to start bottling and mass marketing the locally famous Campania wines it had been producing. In order to facilitate this ambitious strategy, the company adopted a new brand name for its high quality wines. This plan leads to Enodelta becoming a supplier to such important retail chains as Euromercato, Mida and, most recently, Ipercoop Tirreno.

With increased marked share came the need for expansion of production. In response, Enodelta promptly enlarged the plant, created a promotional point-of-sale and acquired a new automatic bottling line along with tanks and other state of the art equipment. Most recently, the company has utilized new resources to better address the demands of the stringent DOC wine market. In fact, the company has obtained permission from the Ministry of Agriculture to produce and bottle the DOC wines, Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio, using the grapes of the ancient Campania vineyards. This great winery has also received many prizes for the quality of its wines, including the Campania Felix Medal and the Partenope Award.

Currently, the annual production is approximately 150,000 bottles per year of each type of wine, with total production capacity at around 1,000,000 bottles per year.
