Arnaldo Caprai Description
The family operation began in 1971 when textiles entrepreneur Arnaldo Caprai purchased 12.5 acres in Montefalco. In 1988, ownership passed on to Arnaldo’s son, Marco, who began the project to cultivate the promotion of the grape that has been growing in the Montefalco region for more than 400 years: Sagrantino. Today, the winery is the leading producer of top quality Sagrantino di Montefalco, a wine produced exclusively from this native variety. In addition to its commitment to quality, Arnaldo Caprai is recognized for its dedication to environmental, economic and social sustainability, as well as being champions for the wines of Umbria.
Montefalco Rosso embodies a great bond between the wine and the area of Montefalco. It is produced from Sangiovese, Sagrantino and Merlot, which epitomizes the character and identity championed by the Arnaldo Caprai winery.
Tasting Notes: Sensationally intense, with notes of wild flowers, violet and red berry jam. Full bodied, rich, dry with a long finish and delicate hint of spice.
Vinous: 90 Points
Wildly fresh, the 2022 Montefalco Rosso lifts from the glass with a perfumed blend of wet stones, incense and lavender-laced blackberries. It's silky-smooth yet lifted in feel, with textures of pure silk and ripe wild berry fruits coasting along a cooling acidity stream. Chalky mineral tones and a zesty tinge of spice linger as the 2022 finishes with potent length yet clean and precise. This is a wonderful introduction to the Arnaldo Caprai style.
