Arnaldo Caprai 2019 Montefalco Rosso Riserva - Umbrian Red Wine. On the nose, it reveals enticing aromas of cherries in spirit, chocolate, violet, vanilla, and an array of spices. The palate is full and soft, perfectly balanced by vibrant, velvety tannins, leading to a long, lingering finish. This structured, full-bodied wine pairs excellently with red meats, roasts, and cured meats. With a refining potential of 10-15 years, the 2019 vintage is a testament to Arnaldo Caprai's dedication to quality and the expressive character of Montefalco's wines.
