Arnaldo Caprai "COLLEPIANO" Montefalco Sagrantino
| Vintage: | 2019 |
|---|---|
| Description: | 100% Sagrantino. "Aromas of dark cherries and red plums with dried herbs, spices, bark and nutmeg on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, dry and a little chewy with firm, chalky tannins and juicy dark fruit. Layered and structured." - James Suckling. "The 2019 Collepiano is incredibly pretty, with a whiff of wild strawberries complemented by chalk dust and sweet tobacco. This is pure class, silky and round, with brisk acidity motivating an elegant wave of ripe red and black fruits. Its spice box of a finish is long, leaving a web of fine-grained tannins tugging at the palate yet failing to slow the 2019s momentum. The Collepiano will require a bit of cellaring to show its best." - Eric Guido, Vinous. "a plush texture wraps grippy tannins, carrying flavors of baked black cherry, black currant and mocha, with fragrant hints of Earl Grey tea leaf and sandalwood. The finish is firm, with spice and tar accents. Best from 2025 through 2035." - Allison Napjus, Wine Spectator. Aged 22 months in French oak barrique, which adds toasted oak, vanilla, woodsy balsam, and clove aromas and flavors to the blackberry jam, dried cherry, & black pepper fruit character. Powerful, fine-grained tannin help allow this wine age gracefully. Best served with hearty stews and braises, or simply after a meal or with a cheese course. |
