The herald itself is based upon a well-known legend about Kapanadzes. In this blog I will provide you the text which was written creatively by my grandfather. I hope the translation will be as effectful as the original:
“One day I asked my grandpa, who had come from the forest with basket full of acorn pea, was sitting in front of the village’s well in the shadows of a gigantic walnut tree and was peacefully smoking his pipe.
– Grandpa Peter, you know how people say, that Kapanadze ate a wolf, you could have been its actual witness, no?
– Not me, child, (he laughed and closed his eyes) but my grandpa witnessed and I know from him for sure.
– Tell me! Tell me how it all happened!
– Well, once one Kapanadze did not obey his Master. The Feudal wanted to make an example of him, so he threw him in a ditch with a wolf. Soon a scream came from the ditch: “Hurry, hurry! Kapanadze ate me almost!”
– I heard that Kapanadze was a woman (added I cheekily)
– No! If it were a woman, would the wolf then have time for a scream?!
Sachkhere, Kalvata, 1953”
This is how our grandpa wrote the famous legend. It is due to this story that Kapanadzes are often called the Wolf-eaters. Now, we have been long at peace with the wolves. As winegrowers we love and appreciate the mother nature. Nonetheless, this story has another significant meaning to Capno. As you know, making traditional sparkling wine, as they do in Champagne, is extremely hard. It is similar to a battle, a wrestle against nature’s strictness and unpredictability! Thus, for Zaza Kapanadze, who is the head of the family, the Wolf-eater legend is an important symbol of individual’s victory!
The name and the logo stand for this victory but that is not its only purpose. Through them we honor the person who created the family herald and wrote the legend, the person who was called Capno.
– Nuko Kapanadze
