Sagrantino di Montefalco DOC 25 anni Arnaldo Caprai 2004
The wine
One of the domain's unmissable wines: the Sagrantino grapes have been matured for 24 months in barrels before continuing to age for 6 months in bottles in the cellars. This extended, careful ageing has enabled this wine to develop a highly complex nose marked by notes of jammy black berries, pepper, mint and cocoa. The palate is velvety and intense; its tannic structure lends it complexity and aromatic persistence.
Arnaldo Caprai was a business man in the textiles industry. In 1971 his life took a new direction when he acquired the Val du Maggio domaine near Montefalco. He cultivated 5 hectares of Sagrantino vines there. Seventeen years later in 1988, his son Marco took over the helm and undertook projects to extend the domaine and introduce technological innovations.
