Caprai’s top selection of Sagrantino, this six-year-old wine is still too young to touch. Taste it now, and the tannins will suck all the air out of the room, leaving you in umami blackness. There is fruit present in the aroma, signaling what the wine might become with age. Caprai is ambitious, having studied what his Sagrantino vines can do best, and this wine requires an equally ambitious collector willing to cellar it a decade or more.

Caprai's top wine, the Sagrantino di Montefalco 25 Anni, was first released in 1993 to commemorate the estate's 25th anniversary. It has since gone on to become one of Italy's most recognized wines. The 25 Anni starts as a vineyard selection of the finest fruit at harvest, followed by a second selection in the cellar. Essentially the 25 Anni represents the finest barrels of Sagrantino the estate has produced in a given year. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in French oak and sees approximately 50-60% new barrels, depending on the vintage. The 2005 Sagrantino di Montefalco 25 Anni is a rich, sweeping wine that caresses the palate with layers of dark raspberries, flowers, minerals and cherries. This expansive, generous Sagrantino offers tons of length and polish. Sweet notes of herbs, licorice and tar linger on the long, harmonious close
