Sagrantino Di Montefalco DOCG Collepiano 2016 Arnaldo Caprai

Description

Iron fist in velvet glove

In the national and international wine scene, Arnaldo Caprai is, in effect, synonymous with Sagrantino. We can say that it is all thanks to him if, this wine with such aggressive tannins, has become famous all over the world. Montefalco is its land of origin, a beautiful reality a stone's throw from Perugia, in the heart of the green Umbria, a small region nestled in the center of Italy, with an ideal microclimate that allows the maximum organoleptic expression to grow grapes. A great Sagrantino di Montefalco the Collepiano that, while keeping intact the characteristics of vital angularity of this vine, reveals elegance and style and an incredible pleasantness of drinking.

Deep ruby and of great consistency, it has a wide and elegant nose of small ripe black fruits, cherries in alcohol, notes of undergrowth and vaguely woody, pink pepper and juniper, anise and aromatic tobacco. On the palate it is a confirmation, a lively but impeccable tannin, the right balance between strength and expressive finesse. The final is very long.

A wine for wild game: wild boar, hare, roe, rigorously in salmì in order to dilute tannins, alternatively you can combine it with first courses with truffles.
