93/100 WE

Deep, intense ruby red with distinct violet reflections at the rim.

On the nose intense aromas of Marasca cherry, wild berries, and violets, followed by secondary notes of vanilla, dark chocolate, and nutmeg.

On the palate full-bodied and velvety. The 2019 vintage is noted for its "black hole" density, a massive concentration of tannins and black fruit jam and cherry liqueur, that remains remarkably clean and elegant on the finish. The finish is exceptionally long and savory. It leaves a lingering impression of balsamic wood, toasted cocoa, and a mineral/earthy touch.

Serving: Best served at 64°F – 68°F (18°C – 20°C). Slightly cool room temperature brings out the tertiary aromas without accentuating the high alcohol. Decant for 1 to 2 hours before serving to soften the Sagrantino’s signature grip and open up the complex aromatic profile.

Food pairing: This wine demands rich, savory dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with:

Roast lamb or wild game (boar, venison).
Truffle-based pastas or risottos.
Aged cheeses like Pecorino, Parmigiano, Gouda, Cheddar.

Arnaldo Caprai Montefalco Rosso Riserva 2019 is a rich red from the Montefalco hills in Umbria, where limestone and clay soils and a favorable climate give the wines balance and character. It is a blend of 70% Sangiovese, 15% Sagrantino and 15% Merlot, aged 20 months in French oak. The Riserva is a more concentrated, structured version of the classic Montefalco blend. Sangiovese’s elegance tames Sagrantino’s firm tannins, and the result is full-bodied and velvety, with Marasca cherry, violets, dark chocolate and nutmeg, and a long, savory finish.

Why buy it: This is a serious Italian red with a 93 pts James Suckling score. It has the depth of a wine that costs much more but stays smooth and balanced, so it suits both Italian wine lovers and anyone moving up from everyday reds. Free shipping on 6+ bottles makes it easy to stock up.

When to open it: Save it for a special dinner, a holiday table, or a cozy weekend meal. It is made for rich, savory food such as roast lamb, wild game, truffle pasta or risotto, and aged Pecorino. Open it a little ahead of time to soften and show more fruit and spice. It is ready to drink from 2026 and it has the structure to age beautifully until 2034, so you can drink one now and cellar the rest.

The estate was established by successful Italian textile entrepreneur Arnaldo Caprai, who bought 12.5 acres of land in Montefalco with a dream of producing high-quality wine.

Arnaldo's son, Marco Caprai, took over the winery in 1988. Marco recognized the untapped potential of Sagrantino-a grape traditionally used only for sweet passito dessert wines-and set out to transform it into a world-class dry red wine.

Today, the estate spans roughly 170+ hectares (400 acres) in the heart of Umbria, producing around 1 million bottles annually across Montefalco DOC and Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG appellations.

In the late 1980s and 1990s, Marco Caprai partnered with the University of Milan to study clonal selection. They identified the best ancient Sagrantino vines to clone and propagate, vastly improving quality. By enlisting world-renowned consulting enologists (such as Michel Rolland) and pioneering French oak barrique aging, Caprai smoothed Sagrantino’s wild tannins while preserving its power.

Caprai was one of the earliest adopters of sustainable viticulture in Umbria, pioneering zero-impact management protocols for water usage, carbon footprint reduction, and biodiversity.

Grapes ripen at different rates (Merlot is earlier, while Sagrantino is notoriously late-ripening and thick-skinned), they are harvested separately to ensure each varietal brings its best characteristics to the final blend. Grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks using indigenous (natural) yeasts to preserve the authentic expression of the Montefalco terroir. Following the primary alcoholic fermentation, the wine undergoes 100% malolactic fermentation, which rounds out the wine, smoothing the palate and integrating the robust tannins. The blend spends 20 months in French oak barriques (225-liter barrels). After it is bottled, the wine is laid to rest in temperature-controlled cellars for a minimum of 6 months before releasing.

Wine Enthusiast (93 Points)

The nose of this wine opens with intense aromas of red and black fruits dusted with cocoa, allspice and dried flowers. The palate pops with vibrant acidity that gives more tart fruit notes. The taut palate indicates that some time in the cellar will be helpful. Drink 2025–2040.
