Arnaldo Caprai Montefalco Rosso, 2021

Wild flowers, violet, red berry, hint of spice.  Delicate and feminine with loads of charm yet boldly structured with fine tannins. From the Montefalco region of Umbria, this is a blend of mostly Sangiovese (70%) along with Sagrantino & Merlot. Arnaldo Caprai first starting bottling this blend in 1975, it embodies both the terroir of Montefalco and the historic style of the family-owned winery. Started in 1971, Arnaldo's son Marco took over the winery in 1988 and began the project to cultivate Sagrantino, which had been growing in the Montefalco region for more than 400 years but was lost over time and nearly disappeared in the 1960s.
