Montefalco Rosso Riserva is the result of years of in-depth research studies carried out by the Arnauldo Caprai winery to find the best growing conditions and wine-making techniques for the production of this elegant Sangiovese based wine. This wine proves that a noble variety such as Sangiovese can yield great qualitative results in Umbria too. Soft, elegant, with silky tannins and a lingering aftertaste, it shows notes of wild berries and spices beautifully brought together in a harmonious whole. The vinification process includes a prolonged period of fermentation and maceration , in order to achieve the best and most complete extraction of phenolics. After racking, the wine remains in stainless steel tanks for about 4 months. It is then aged in Large Slavonian and French Oak barrels for over 20 months. The wine has a ruby red with bright purple reflections colour and a fully developed nose with notes of intense wild berries and spices, well-balanced with a delicate aroma of vanilla. Full and well structured, long and harmoniously balanced this wine tastes superb. (6 x 75 cl)

Arnaldo Caprai GRECANTE Grechetto dei Colli Martani DOC Umbria
Description: During the Renascence many wines were known as 'Greco, Grecante or Grechetto'. Montefalco's Grecante was one of the most appreciated, indeed the head of the Municipality of Montefalco used to send it as a precious gift to princes and important clergymen. Today, Arnaldo Caparai's Grecante keeps this long tradition alive, although the company was only established in 1971. Starting from only a few hectares of vineyards and believing strongly in the potential of the territory and the local varieties Arnaldo Caprai, a successful textile businessman, bought the Val di Maggio estate to fulfil his dream of producing his own wine. He started off with only five hectares, but as time went by he believed more and more in the great potential of the local variety Sagrantino and bought more of the surrounding land. Great care is taken in producing this wine from the hand picked harvest that is collected in small containers and gently pressed in order to obtain only the fresh musts. To the fermentation at low temperatures, thus enhancing the perfumes and the finesse of the wine. This care has produced an intense straw yellow coloured wine with green tinges showing intensely fruity aromas that are both delicate and sophisticated. Soft, well balanced, pleasantly fruity with an enjoyable finish this is a wine to savour. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £153.55
