About the Wine   

Just 90 miles from one of the most historic capitals in the world: Rome, is located Montefalco. Montefalco is a municipality in the province of Perugia with a great wine culture; where they usually have a festival dedicated to oenology, known as "Settimana Enologica" or oenological week.

Arnaldo Caprai was founded in 1971 when the Caprai family began their dream that now is materialized in elegant wines with a unique character. Arnaldo Capri is recognized for being a leader in the production, research, and recovery of the Sagrantino di Montefalco grape. To learn more about this amazing grape and the wines from it, click here.

Marco Caprai, Arnaldo’s son, carried out important research and experimentation in the vineyard to achieve the quality that today characterizes them. At Arnaldo Caprain, constant innovation and cutting-edge technology are sought, but always remembering the tradition. In fact, in 1997, the cellar was completely renovated and modernized.

Since 2005, the winery has had different ISO certifications. Caprai also has a sense of responsibility in all areas, maintaining environmental, economic, and sustainable practices.

Reviews 

Welcome to the black hole of Umbrian red wine where you get to experience a new level of tannic density, but this is also married to extraordinary ripeness. For all this, a surprisingly clean and elegant finish. Very savory. Drink or hold. ~94 James Suckling 

The 2015 Montefalco Rosso Riserva is a generous and radiant wine that offers accessible tones of black fruit, cherry, and savory spice. The blend sees a large element of Sangiovese, and that grape shines bright in this wine, thanks to its elegant tones of wild berry, rose, and pressed violet. ~93+ Wine Advocate
