Montefalco sits on clay-and-limestone hillsides in landlocked Umbria, and its Rosso Riserva DOC is where Sagrantino — a grape the Caprai family helped pull back from near-extinction — gets to show what it adds to a Sangiovese-led blend. Arnaldo Caprai draws this wine from the Monte della Torre estate vineyard, working south- and southwest-facing slopes with vines 25 to 30 years old. The 70% Sangiovese, 15% Sagrantino, and 15% Merlot are aged 20 months in French oak barriques, then a minimum six months in bottle. The result: spiced cherry, violet, and dark plum up front, with chocolate, licorice, and tobacco on a structured, tactile finish.
