Arnaldo-Caprai Sagrantino di Montefalco 1996

Sybaritewino C.Lawrence

Maybe bottle variation but found this to be somewhat stroppy, with burnt fruit which was saved, slightly, by some uplifting acids and dreamy dust n leather notes. Want to try another bottle from same vintage.

Lovely earthy nose speaking of its terroir in volumes. Similar in style to neighbouring Brunellos but with more depth of flavour. This Sagratino was a WOW Wine for me. The often formidable tannins of this grape have been tamed and this is just a gorgeous savoury dry red with medium + intensity. Must purchase more Montefalco Sagrantino.

The oak character is very clear here, as is the slow aging Caprai profile, but drinking very well now. Except for the dark cherry fruit, one would guess this was a Bordeaux.
