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.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Umbria

Despite being one of Italy's smallest wine regions, the central Italian region of Umbria is a vitally important one, and home to many of the country's finest and most historic wines and wineries. The reputation of Umbrian wines may have suffered in the 1970s, along with the produce of much of the rest of the country, but the 1980s and 1990s saw significant efforts made by vintners when it came to improving their produce and overall image. By consulting international oenologists, the wineries of Umbria were able to update their traditional techniques, and produce considerably finer wines from their Sangiovese grapes, as well as from imported varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. Indeed, the barrel fermented white wines of Umbria, now made with a blend of Chardonnay and Grechetto varietal grapes, has gone on to be something of a flagship product for the region, and is regarded as one of the best and most characterful white wines in Italy.

Appellation

Montefalco Sagrantino

JS 96pts

James Suckling

#85 in Top 100 Wines of Italy, 2024. Graphite dominates the nose, with restrained wild blackberry, meat, balsamic and aromatic herb notes. The attack is smooth, with a full body, youthful fruit character and muscular yet super-refined tannins allied to refreshing acidity and a polished tobacco aftertaste. It needs to age for a year or two to integrate the oak, but this will last for decades.

Wine Advocate

The Arnaldo Caprai 2020 Montefalco Sagrantino 25 Anni opens to an inky-dark appearance and thick concentration that is underlined by the intensity of the grape but also of the hot vintage. This is a bold, bruising wine with layers of blackcurrant, bitter chocolate and tarry spice. All of these elements are elevated in terms of power and definition. The Caprai winemaking team famously worked on taming the tannins of Sagrantino, and although the grit and personality of the grape is fundamental in this case, the 25 Anni is a modern and international expression.

Winery Notes

With the spirit of the challenge but also with the love and imagination of those who pursue a dream, this wine has been made that wants to act like the beyond of Sagrantino. Sagrantino 25 Anni was born from the exciting research experience and from the special selection of Sagrantino grapes. Produced for the first time with the 1993 vintage to celebrate the company's 25 ° anniversary, it has since retained this name together with the character, power and elegance that distinguish it. AROMA: Surprising complexity ranging from blackberry jam to rose, from nutmeg to pepper, from pine resin to mint, from clove to cocoa. TASTE: Soft, persuasive, which never ends. The freshness is inviting, the tannin is elegant and composed.
