The Collepiano Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG by Arnaldo Caprai is a true expression of the cultural heritage of the Umbrian region, embodying the essence of the Sagrantino grape cultivated with dedication in the lively terroir of Montefalco. This wine is distinguished by its rigorous selection of grapes, all handpicked to ensure the highest quality.
Visually, it presents itself with an intense and deep ruby red color, heralding a rich and complex olfactory experience. On the nose, aromas of ripe red fruits such as plums and blackberries emerge, combined with spicy notes of black pepper and balsamic hints. The aging of the wine in oak barrels enhances its olfactory structure, adding delicate touches of vanilla and chocolate.
On the palate, the Collepiano offers a full and enveloping taste. Its tannic structure is robust yet well-balanced, thanks to careful processing that aims for smoothness despite the natural astringency of the Sagrantino. The acidity is lively and contributes to a long and pleasant finish, with a persistence of dark fruit flavors and an elegant aftertaste of spices.
Perfect for pairing with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, the Collepiano Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG expresses itself best after an adequate period of decanting, which allows all its aromatic nuances to be enhanced. Ideal to be enjoyed at a temperature of 18-20°C, this wine offers a pleasant discovery for lovers of intense and structured reds.
With its strong identity and marked taste profile, the Collepiano by Arnaldo Caprai represents an excellent example of how the Sagrantino grape can be transformed into a wine of profound complexity and refined elegance.
