Description

The first produced vintage of Collepiano Sagrantino di Montefalco dates back to 1979. A wine that is aged for 22 months in French oak barriques and at least 6 months in the bottle.

In the glass it presents a deep ruby red color. On the nose it is elegant and intriguing thanks to the aromas of blackberry jam, pepper, clove and vanilla, a balsamic note and a touch of powder. On the palate it is powerful and elegant at the same time; with an important tannin that leads to a long finish to be savored.

At the table it will certainly not disappoint expectations; it is the perfect companion to a good dish of roasted meat preferably with a good fat content, stews and game.

Winery history

The company's history began with Arnaldo Caprai's purchase of Tenuta Val di Maggio in 1971. Since then the family has gradually expanded the vineyards and steered production toward showcasing Sagrantino. When his son Marco took the helm in the mid-1980s, years of agronomic and enological research produced iconic labels such as Collepiano and Sagrantino "25 Anni", and helped promote Sagrantino di Montefalco internationally.

Production philosophy

The winery follows an approach based on tradition, research and experimentation: agronomic and oenological research, attention to the territory’s typicity and sustainability projects, supported by technical collaborations and consultancy to refine production and quality techniques.

Terroir and vineyards

The estate and vineyards are located in the Montefalco area of Umbria; the winery has played a central role in the revival of Sagrantino di Montefalco and manages vineyards spread across the hills surrounding the town, with a focus on native Umbrian grape varieties.
