Arnaldo Caprai Montefalco Sagrantino Collepiano 2020
(Umbria, Italy) - [VM 94]

WINERY:

 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. Winery visits available for tasting.

WINE:

Collepiano represents the renaissance of Montefalco as a wine region and Sagrantino as a unique variety grown only in Montefalco. Collepiano is Sagrantino’s area of production at Caprai. The name recalls the gentle slopes that characterize these hills.

Tasting Note:

The 2020 Collepiano presents juicy dark fruits and red plums, along with dried herbs, spices, bark, and nutmeg on the nose. It is soft, intense, and has a persistent finish. The tannins are fresh and complex.
