"Showing big intensity with black fruit flavors and sweet spice, the full-bodied Arnaldo Caprai 2022 Montefalco Rosso Riserva is a tag-team effort of Sagrantino and Sangiovese. The Umbrian grape delivers power and structure, with the Sangiovese bringing freshness and dark fruit flavors. The 2022 vintage saw a warm and sunny growing season, and this wine shows chewy richness and almost protein-like texture as a result. It comes close to going over the top."
