Arnaldo Caprai Sagrantino di Montefalco Collepiano 2004
Sagrantino is an ancient vine of Umbria brought there according to some traditions by followers of St. Francis of Assisi in the Middle Ages. Sagrantino Collepiano symbolizes 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, and refers to the gentle slopes that characterize the hills. Micrographic analysis shows that Sagrantino has more polyphenols (wine's flavor components) than any other Italian grape. Wine Advocate The 2004 Sagrantino di Montefalco Collepiano is a seamless beauty. Made in a full-bodied style, it offers gorgeous layers of dark cherries, wild herbs, underbrush and leather with a powerful, authoritative personality. Decidedly modern in its interpretation, it is an outstanding wine in every way. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. Score: 92. —Antonio Galloni, February 2008.All sizes are 750mL unless otherwise noted. |
