Arnaldo Caprai Montefalco Rosso Riserva 2022 Review
Caprai is one of the leading estates in Umbria’s Montefalco region, with a history dating back to 1971. The winery focuses on the local Sagrantino grape, a hearty variety known for its bold fruit character and intense structure. This Riserva bottling brings together Sangiovese, Sagrantino, and Merlot, aged for 20 months in French oak. The Sangiovese leads the blend, introducing bright cherry notes, but the 15 percent Sagrantino adds dense notes of plums and dried figs. Woodsy, herbaceous notes fill out the palate, along with grippy tannins that suggest the wine could go on aging for decades.
