THE WINE

The Sagrantino di Montefalco 25th Anniversary of the Arnaldo Caprai winery, is made with 100% Sagrantino grapes. Produced for the first time in 1993 to celebrate the winery 25th anniversary, is one of Arnaldo Caprai’s flagships.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest is strictly manual and only the selected grapes are brought to the cellar for winemaking. After pressing, the must ferments in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The refinement takes place in oak barriques and lasts for at least 24 months. After bottling, the wine rests for a further 8 months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Dark ruby red. The aroma is intense and complex with elegant notes of red fruit that alternate with hints of cocoa, and leaves space for many spices like cinnamon, black pepper and cloves. Everything ends with a wonderful balsamic essence. Full-bodied on the palate with a soft, velvety and very well polished tannin. Excellent persistence with a very long finish that perfectly matches the aromas.

FOOD PAIRINGS

It goes very well with red meat, hard cheeses and game. For its quality, it can also be considered as a meditation wine.
