Package Description
Sagrantino Lovers is a tailor-made experience to delve into all the facets of Sagrantino, the prince of Montefalco grapes.
The experience will begin inside the exclusive Enoteca Monte della Torre where, accompanied by a Wine Educator, you will have the opportunity to enter the world of this historic native vine, discover stories and anecdotes of the company that rediscovered it and elevated it to a global level, transforming Montefalco into one of the most important winemaking centers in Italy. Your sensory journey will begin with a tasting of the first Metodo Classico Plus Noir label. Subsequently, the itinerary will wind between the outside and inside of the cellar, covering all the phases of the production process. The discovery of the barrel cellar will be accompanied by a tasting of the “Cuvée Secrète” label, a white wine made from the best white grapes of the estate,
with an olfactory spectrum developed thanks to a rapid passage in French oak.
The reserved access located in the barrel cellar will take you back to the suggestive rooms of the Enoteca Monte della Torre where you can taste our wines comfortably seated. A journey that will transport you to an exclusive multisensory dimension, that of the Sagrantino crus and its passito expression. In combination, a refined selection of typical products of Umbrian gastronomy served on refined local ceramics.
The Winery’s Story
Cantina Arnaldo Caprai is one of the most important and prestigious wineries in Umbria, particularly known for the production of high-quality wines, with a focus on Sagrantino di Montefalco, an indigenous grape variety that has found true consecration thanks to the work of the Caprai family. Founded in the 1970s by Arnaldo Caprai, the company initially operated as a more traditional business, but in the 1990s, under the guidance of his son Marco Caprai, the company undertook a radical renewal, aiming for quality and innovation. Marco Caprai was instrumental in relaunching Sagrantino, which is now one of the most recognized and appreciated wines internationally. The winery is located in the municipality of Montefalco, the heart of the Umbrian wine-growing area, famous for its Sagrantino. The Montefalco area enjoys an ideal microclimate for viticulture, with calcareous and clayey soils that contribute to producing wines rich in structure, complexity and longevity. Cantina Arnaldo Caprai stands out for its adoption of modern techniques and a strong focus on sustainability. The company philosophy focuses on innovation, the pursuit of quality and respect for the territory. The winery uses advanced winemaking methods, without ever forgetting tradition, particularly with regard to the winemaking of Sagrantino.
