Arnaldo-Caprai
25 Anni Sagrantino di Montefalco
Montefalco, Perugia, Umbria, Italy
I have a soft spot for this producer. This 100% sargrantino requires at least 15 years post bottling, but from there, the wine sings.
Nice fruit profile of cherries and strawberries, gives way to cinnamon, tobacco, coffee, and bay leaves. Big tannins create a strong structure, from which the remaining components hang from. Hold this for another 15 years, easily.

Comparable to a great Bordeaux or Piedmont wine for richness and power
