WINE DESCRIPTION

Arnaldo-Caprai Sagrantino di Montefalco Passito is a highly sought-after wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Sagrantino grape variety. This passito-style wine is produced in the Montefalco region of Italy, known for its rich and full-bodied red wines. The winemaking process involves carefully selecting the ripest grapes and allowing them to dry naturally, intensifying their flavors. The result is a rich and full-bodied wine with a deep ruby color and complex aromas of dark fruits, spices, and chocolate. With its velvety tannins and long, lingering finish, this wine is a true expression of the Montefalco terroir.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

On the nose, this wine offers a complex bouquet of ripe black fruits, such as blackberry and plum, accompanied by notes of dried figs and raisins.There is also a subtle hint of spice, with aromas of nutmeg and cloves adding depth to the overall profile. The palate is equally impressive, with a velvety texture and well-integrated tannins. The sweetness of the dried fruit flavors is balanced by a refreshing acidity, creating a harmonious and elegant taste experience. The wine has a long and persistent finish, leaving a lingering impression of dark chocolate and a touch of vanilla.
