Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2010 Montefalco Rosso Riserva is an excellent wine that delivers both power and grace. This achievement should not go underestimated. It is easy for Montefalco Rosso (a blend of Sagrantino and Sangiovese) to show muscle, brawn and enormous structure, because those qualities come in abundance - especially with Sangrantino. It is far more difficult to deliver harmony and this wine does exactly that. Dark fruit nuances are followed by spice, barbecue smoke and black licorice.

Wine Spectator
A pure beam of ripe black cherry is woven with black olive and cured tobacco accents in this chewy, medium- to full-bodied red. Fresh and focused, presenting a firm, spicy and sanguine finish. Drink now through 2026. 450 cases made.

James Suckling
A tannic, tangy red with lots of dried-meat, berry and dark-chocolate aromas and flavors. Full body, chewy tannins and a long finish with hints of citrus. Savory. Drink or hold.

The family operation began in 1971 when textiles entrepreneur Arnaldo Caprai purchased 12.5 acres in Montefalco. In 1988, ownership passed on to Arnaldo’s son, Marco, who began the project to cultivate the promotion of the grape that has been growing in the Montefalco region for more than 400 years: Sagrantino. Today, the winery is the leading producer of top quality Sagrantino di Montefalco, a wine produced exclusively from this native variety. In addition to its commitment to quality, Arnaldo Caprai is recognized for its dedication to environmental, economic and social sustainability, as well as being champions for the wines of Umbria. Winery visits available for tasting.
