Arnaldo-Caprai Sagrantino di Montefalco 25 Anni 2018 750ml

One of the headline wines of Umbria, the 2018 Montefalco Sagrantino 25 Anni gives us an important and complex expression of one of Italy’s most stubborn (and tannic) grape varieties. The workmanship behind this wine is precise and technique-based, and of course it’s reliant on the best fruit produced in these manicured vineyards. The results show a full-bodied style that is given momentum by ample fruit weight and a 15.5% alcohol content. Blackberry, cherry liqueur and baking chocolate segue to sweet oak and spicey mahogany. This is a production of 15,000 bottles.

Varietal

Sagrantino

Listán Blanco, also known as Palomino Fino, is a white grape variety predominantly grown in Spain’s Canary Islands and in the Andalusian region for the production of Sherry. In the Canary Islands, it thrives in the unique volcanic soils and produces wines that are light, fresh, and aromatic. Listán Blanco wines are characterized by their subtle floral notes, citrus fruit flavors, and a distinctive minerality, often with a slight saline edge due to the maritime influence. The volcanic terroir imparts a unique complexity and texture to the wines, making them stand out. What makes Listán Blanco unique is its adaptability and the way it expresses the distinct terroirs of its growing regions. While it is primarily known for its role in Sherry production, where it contributes to the dry, nutty profiles of Fino and Manzanilla styles, as a table wine, Listán Blanco offers a refreshing and intriguing drinking experience.
