Arnaldo Caprais Montefalco Rosso Riserva shows how much depth and complexity can be achieved with this combination of local varieties. The wine is intense and particularly concentrated thanks to ripe fruit and careful oak ageing. You can feel the power of the Sagrantino tannins, but this power is well measured and under control. With its dark and crunchy fruit, this is a wine that initially makes you bite your teeth out, but which becomes increasingly elegant as it matures in the bottle. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark ruby purple with a fine, garnet-red rim. Intense, warm nose of blackcurrant, cherry brandy and cayenne pepper. Silky on the palate with lots of ripe fruit, then dominant, tightly woven tannins, round and persistent." Falstaff

"Lifted nose of blackberries and blood oranges with hints of licorice and black pepper. The palate is firm and austere, with a full body, over-extracted tannins and moderate acidity. It needs time for aging to soften the tannin and develop more complexity. Try after 2026." James Suckling

"Remarkably pretty, the 2021 Montefalco Rosso Riserva opens in the glass with a burst of crushed chalk, giving way to dried violets, lavender, white pepper and crushed blackberries. This is pure elegance, round and pliant yet cool-toned in feel with ripe red and black fruits that slowly give way to a web of fine tannins toward the close. The 2021 finishes structured with a balsamic and dark chocolate resonance, leaving the mouth watering for more. Despite its youthful state, I find it hard not to drink the 2021 instead of just tasting it." Vinous
