Dark garnet color with a ruby core. Aromas of cranberry, dried cherry, wet asphalt and dried rose petals. The palate features black cherry and blackberry fruit with hints of tar, tobacco, black pepper and baking spices. Nice mineral note on the very long finish. Medium bodied, velvety tannins and fresh acidity. — a year ago

The Oracle of Mecoli was right, as always. This is the best 6 euro supermarket wine on the Italian market. — 5 years ago

This wine has evolved wonderfully over the last 10 years...
Dark macerated fruit notes, tossed wet earth, bloody/gamey meat, charred oak and balsamico. At age 20, all components have melted into this beautiful beasty boy and those chewy but well dosed tannines provide a great harmonious structure.
Well done! 👍🏻
Went super next to a plate of meatballs and ravioli. — 6 years ago

Their flagship. Not up to Caprai standards but very good. — 8 years ago

Love this sagrantino. And a great contrast to the 1993 caprai. — 10 years ago

Loved this wine. So much to unpack - firm tannins, plush textures, wide range of scents on the bouquet. Really fun wine and incredibly well made. Like a mix between Masseto and a not too sweet Valpo or Amarone — 5 years ago

The Arnaldo Caprai 40 Anni Vigna del Lago Sagrentino di Montefalco is, like its name, a big boy. Plenty of grippy tannins here, as one would expect, but certainly not too ferocious to prevent great enjoyment. Dark fruit, Christmas spice, tar and pepper all combine beautifully. This wine has a long way to go. — 6 years ago

Smells like a dusty old library (which is lovely), fruit is still quite present, strawberry and red cherry, though showing age. Phenomenal. — 8 years ago

Very young with strict tannine structure and limited tertiary notes. Good dark Cab fruit and acidity but a bit short on the finish. Good match with home cooked venison steak. — 3 years ago

Barolo and barbecue. Why not. This is a simple version of the classic. Lighter in profile. Floral and strawberries too. Tastes like it was made a few miles north in Alto Piemonte. — 7 years ago

Thanks to @Delectable Wine for a quick turnaround on ID-ing this relatively obscure cuvée. Caprai does amazing things that go way beyond his flagship Sagrantinos. Here is a 100% Umbrian Pinot Noir, made only in certain vintages. The varietal expression here is unique (a good wine to stump blind tasters) - richer and more powerful than you’d expect, with bluer fruits and higher tannins too...almost like a Bdx. — 8 years ago

This was utterly charming. I asked what was in it, but I guess it's a "secrete". — 8 years ago

Un vino de Umbría región al centro de Italia, por lo tanto no tiene influencia marina. Este vino lo abrimos la semana pasada lo degustamos con un guiso de carne, con arroz blanco, como no terminamos la botella lo guardamos en el refigerador y al día siguiente lo acompañamos con unos spaguethis con pomarola, quedo muy bien con nuestro menú, buen domingo! — 9 years ago
