92 Points James Suckling
Bright and fruit-forward with ripe raspberries and cherries as well as sweet spices, chocolate and candied orange peel. Medium- to full-bodied with deep, succulent fruit and firm, tightly packed tannins. Lingering, racy finish. Drink or hold.
90 Points Wine Enthusiast
Black cherry and spice dominate the aroma, along with an intense floral element. The wine is lush on the palate, with gripping tannins, mouthwatering acidity and ample dark fruit notes both fresh and preserved with an undertone of clove and cinnamon.
Winemaker Note
Spurred cordon vines planted in clay matrix soils are situated on the slopes of the Montefalco hills. The vineyards benefit from a unique terroir of limestone and clay soils, which provide excellent drainage and help maintain the right moisture balance for the vines. The region’s favorable microclimate, with warm days and cooler nights, ensures a slow and even ripening of the grapes, preserving their natural acidity and enhancing their aromatic complexity. The Caprai family has carefully chosen these vineyard sites to express the true character of the local varietals, such as Sangiovese and Sagrantino, producing wines with remarkable depth and balance.
