help Sagrantino di Montefalco 25 Anni (Arnaldo Caprai) FAQ
Why is Arnaldo Caprai's wine called 25 Anni?
The cuvée was created to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Arnaldo Caprai winery, which was founded in 1971. It became one of the best-known modern expressions of Montefalco Sagrantino.
Is Sagrantino di Montefalco 25 Anni made from Sangiovese?
No. It is made from Sagrantino, the deeply colored native grape associated with Montefalco in Umbria. Sangiovese appears in Montefalco Rosso blends, but it is not the defining grape of this bottling.
Why is 25 Anni so tannic?
Sagrantino naturally has very high levels of tannin and phenolic material, giving the wine formidable structure. Oak maturation and bottle aging help integrate those tannins while preserving dark-fruit, spice, and balsamic flavors.
How long should Arnaldo Caprai 25 Anni be aged before drinking?
Strong vintages are built for extended cellaring, often developing over a decade or longer under proper conditions. If opened young, the wine generally benefits from substantial aeration and a pairing such as braised beef, wild boar, or aged pecorino.
