This bottle is a true ambassador for Umbria. You get ample varietal tones in the 2016 Montefalco Sagrantino 25 Anni, with bitter chocolate and baking spice, but Caprai does a terrific job of softening up and fleshing out the Sagrantino grape to display a more contemporary and ultimately more approachable and versatile wine. It boasts a huge, bold and opulent mouthfeel with plenty of structure and determination. This was a release of 15,000 bottles.

High toned and floral on the nose, this is immediately dense and grippy on the palate, with tense tannins wrapped tightly around the subtle, but promising range of wild strawberry and black raspberry fruit, black licorice, slate and rosemary flavors. But this needs cellaring, or at least a couple of hours decanting, to shine at its brightest. Best from 2026 through 2031. 650 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Montefalco Sagrantino Select to Add
