Tasting Notes: Produced from Sangiovese, Sagrantino and Merlot, Arnaldo Caprai Montefalco Rosso is medium-bodied, offering balanced acidity and soft tannins, making it more approachable than the intensely rich and powerfully tannic Sagrantino di Montefalco. The Sagrantino component, though less dominant, adds structure and depth to the wine.
Estate History: Arnaldo Caprai is a renowned Italian winery located in Montefalco, Umbria, that has played a pivotal role in reviving and elevating the reputation of the Sagrantino grape.
Founded in 1971 by Arnaldo Caprai, a successful textile entrepreneur, the winery was initially focused on producing high-quality wines from local grape varieties. However, it is particularly noted for its contribution to the resurgence of Sagrantino, a native varietal that was almost forgotten before Caprai helped bring it back to prominence.
Today, under the leadership of Arnaldo’s son Marco Caprai, the winery is recognized for producing some of the finest Sagrantino di Montefalco wines. These wines are known for their deep, complex character, rich tannins, and potential for aging. In addition to Sagrantino, the winery produces other wines such as Montefalco Rosso, a blend that often includes Sangiovese, and other Umbrian varietals like Grechetto.
Caprai has been a pioneer in sustainability in Italian viticulture, using modern technologies and eco-friendly practices to reduce the environmental impact of their wine production. Their wines have received international acclaim, helping to put both Sagrantino and the Montefalco region on the map for wine enthusiasts worldwide.
