Sagrantino di Montefalco 50 Years LIMITED EDITION by Arnaldo Caprai

Sagrantino di Montefalco 50 Years LIMITED EDITION is a celebratory creation signed by Arnaldo Caprai, designed to tell the story of half a century of work, identity, and connection with Montefalco. It is a special limited edition that combines wine value and collectibility, with a production of only 2,600 bottles and a strong territorial imprint. It originates from a cru, Monte della Torre, and interprets the deepest character of Montefalco Sagrantino with a rich, intense, and authoritative style.

Territory and wine style

The wine comes from Umbria, in the heart of the Montefalco area, a territory historically suited to express wines of great personality. In this celebratory version, the Sagrantino di Montefalco reflects a modern yet coherent interpretation of the denomination, with attention to sustainability and respect for the environment, values declared by the winery. The long aging in small wood for 24 months contributes to defining a structured, deep, and complex style, designed for those seeking an important red with a strong identity.

Tasting notes

Visually, it presents an impenetrable ruby red, enriched by blue reflections that anticipate its concentration. The bouquet is rich and layered, with notes of black fruit, spices, and cocoa, supported by an intense and deep aromatic weave. On the palate, the wine shows great fullness and enveloping character: the tannins are dense but described as sweet and fatty, balanced with a broad and persistent development, closed by balsamic returns that extend the finish. It is an opulent, important, and contemplative wine.

Recommended pairings

For its structure and intensity, Sagrantino di Montefalco 50 Years LIMITED EDITION pairs well with long-cooked dishes and bold flavors. It is ideal with braised red meats, wild boar, roasted lamb, game, and rich, succulent roasts. It also expresses great personality alongside aged cheeses and traditional Umbrian dishes with a savory profile. It can accompany moments of post-meal reflection when one desires a wine to sip slowly.

Serving temperature

The ideal serving temperature for Sagrantino di Montefalco 50 Years LIMITED EDITION is between 18 and 20 °C. Given its important structure and the presence of marked tannins, it can benefit from early opening to promote oxygenation and allow the aromatic profile to unfold. It is a bottle that performs best in wide glasses, with a slow and meditative tasting approach.
