The 2006 Sagrantino di Montefalco Passito flows onto the palate with layers of dark, sumptuous fruit that come together seamlessly. The firm Sagrantino tannins are evident but there is more than enough fruit to provide balance. This is another fine effort from Marco Caprai. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014.
Marco Caprai has long led the way in Montefalco. These 2006s are Caprai’s best wines yet and capture all of the promise they showed when I tasted them from barrel a year ago. Simply put, readers will not want to miss these fabulous wines.
