Intense ruby red, occasionally showing violet reflections.

On the nose an intense, floral bouquet featuring wildflowers and violets, layered with vibrant red and dark fruits like black cherry, plum, and wild strawberry. It is accented by sweet spices, including nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon, with subtle hints of thyme and anise.

On the palate medium-to-full-bodied, fresh, and dry. It offers a well-balanced softness that contrasts perfectly with firm and velvety tannins. It finishes with deep, succulent fruit and a lightly chewy, structured finish.

Serving: Best served at 60°F–64°F (16°C–18°C). Slightly cool room temperature. If stored at room temp in a warm home, give it 15–20 minutes in the fridge before serving. Decanting: 30 to 45 minutes before drinking. A short aeration softens Sagrantino’s structural tannins and lets the cherry and herbal aromas open up.

Food Pairing: This well-structured red pairs beautifully with bold flavors:

Cold cuts, salami, and medium-aged cheeses
Rich pasta dishes like pasta all'Amatriciana or meat lasagna
Grilled and roasted meats (sliced beef, steaks, and meat stews)

Arnaldo Caprai Montefalco Rosso DOC is a vibrant red from Umbria, led by Sangiovese with Sagrantino adding structure, and Merlot harmonizing the blend. It spends 12 months in French oak and comes across as smooth, elegant and well balanced. The aromas are floral, with violets and wildflowers, black cherry, plum and wild strawberry, and a touch of nutmeg, clove and cinnamon. The palate is dry, fresh and medium-to-full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a succulent, lightly chewy finish.

Why buy it: This is a real Montefalco red from one of Umbria’s best-known estates. It has the depth and structure of a much pricier bottle but stays smooth and easy to drink. That makes it an easy choice for a weeknight dinner, a host gift, or a case to keep on hand, since shipping is free on 6+ bottles.

When to open it: Pour it with a hearty meal, such as pasta all’Amatriciana, meat lasagna, grilled steak, or a board of salami and medium-aged cheeses. It is a good fit for casual dinners with friends and Sunday family meals. It can also be cellared for 6-8 years if you want to save a few bottles.

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 12 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 4 to 6 months.
