Arnaldo Caprai bottled his first wine in 1973 – a Montefalco Rosso made from Sangiovese, Sagrantino and Merlot. This Rosso was the beginning, the foundation stone for everything that was to follow: the rebirth of Sagrantino, the conquest of international wine critics, the transformation of a forgotten Umbrian village into a Mecca of wine tourism. Half a century later, this wine still carries the DNA of that vision – earthy, authentic, accessible. The extremely popular cuvée made from seventy per cent Sangiovese, fifteen per cent Sagrantino and fifteen per cent Merlot grows on the hills of Montefalco on limestone-clay soils.

Intense ruby red colour. Aroma of wild flowers, violets, red berries and nutmeg. Dry, fresh on the palate, with silky softness and fine-grained tannins. Medium body, long spicy finish. A wine that captures Montefalco's soul – between tradition and modernity, between Sangiovese elegance and Sagrantino vigour. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark, bright ruby violet colour. Herbs, liquorice, leather and sugared violets on the nose. On the palate with perceptible but well-balanced tannins, savoury, with good juice and dark fruit, shows good persistence and drinks well." Falstaff
