The Arnaldo-Caprai Montefalco Rosso Riserva opens with aromas of wild cherries preserved in spirit, chocolate, violets, vanilla and exotic spices. Full bodied and round, perfectly balanced with vibrant, velvety tannins.
The Arnaldo-Caprai Montefalco Rosso Riserva embodies the bolder spirit of its little brother Montefalco Rosso, with a similar composition of Sangiovese, Sagrantino and Merlot. The special vineyard sites and location for this wine rival textural and body characteristics of even the best Brunello di Montalcino.
A qualitatively very positive vintage; the reds have given optimal results guaranteed by a slow and constant ripening.
70% Sangiovese, 15% Sagrantino, 15% Merlot aged for 20 months in French oak barriques followed by a minimum 6 months aging in bottle.
