Arnaldo Caprai Collepiano Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG 2021

A red wine from Umbria made from Sagrantino, aged for 22 months in barrique. The oak gives structure without overwhelming the fruit, and the tannin, which can be demanding in Sagrantino, is already well integrated. It suits rich roast red meats, stews and game, and should deepen with a few more years. The colour is a very dark, almost impenetrable ruby. On the nose it shows blackberry jam, pepper, clove, vanilla and a powdery note. The palate is powerful without being heavy, with precise tannin. The finish returns to blackberry and lingers.
