On the nose, this Sagrantino entices with a captivating aroma of blackberry jam, accented by intriguing hints of pepper, clove, and vanilla. The palate showcases a powerful yet elegant character, with bold tannins hinting at its exceptional aging potential.

This robust wine pairs beautifully with roasted meats, particularly those with a touch of fat content. Consider pairing it with game dishes or a hearty beef stew to create a truly memorable culinary experience.

Collepiano represents the renaissance of Montefalco as a wine region and Sagrantino as a unique variety grown only in Montefalco. Collepiano is Sagrantino’s area of production at Caprai. The name recalls the gentle slopes that characterize these hills.

A compact, full-bodied red, with a fragrant thread of anise hyssop and tar-tinged smoke wafting through blackberry, black currant, sandalwood and espresso crema. Fresh and focused, with firm tannins enmeshed with the rich flavor profile, which lingers on the spiced finish.

This forward and plump Sagrantino opens with juicy ripe black plums sprinkled with cracked black pepper, dried herbs and baking spices. The taut palate shows blackberry compote mixed with earthy spices, clove and dried flowers followed by well-defined tannins giving the wine a firm finish.

Takes its time opening in the glass, at first floral with a hint of red currants. Coaxing releases pretty notions of rose water, cinnamon and black cherries. It’s incredibly soft and round on the palate, also more finessed than expected, with pretty wild berry fruits and mineral underpinnings offset by a pleasant inner sweetness. A mix of plum and inner violet florals lingers, as the 2018 finishes lightly tannic yet fresh.
