Arnaldo Caprai is the producer most responsible for putting Umbria's Montefalco on the map, and this Riserva is a more polished, age-worthy step up from the estate's standard Rosso. It's Sangiovese-based, blended with Merlot and a portion of the local Sagrantino, the fierce, tannic grape Caprai did more than anyone to revive. The Riserva sees around 20 months in French oak plus additional bottle age before release, which knits together the Sangiovese's red-fruited lift, the Merlot's flesh, and Sagrantino's grip. It's a structured, full-bodied red built for the table and capable of further aging.

Antonio Galloni

"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." —Eric Guido

"This red wine delivers profound dark fruit layered with cinnamon and star anise, roasted earth, and fresh sage. This masterfully crafted blend reflects the family's four decades of perfecting Montefalco's terroir. Elegant and structured with fine tannins, the palate dances between fresh and preserved red fruits before an iron-tinged finish." —Jeff Porter

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Reach for hearty, savory dishes: grilled and roasted red meats, braised beef, wild boar ragu over pappardelle, lamb, or aged pecorino.

Tasting Profile

Aromas of black cherry, plum, sweet spice, and cocoa with a balsamic, woodsy edge. Full-bodied with firm, substantial tannins and lively acidity, finishing long and structured.
