Arnaldo Caprai 2007 25 Anni Sagrantino (Sagrantino di Montefalco)
- Cellar Selection
- $100
One of the top, if not the top, red wines from Umbria. The naturally tannic Sagrantino grape is softened by the careful oak aging that adds layers of chocolate and spice to the grape’s aromas of black cherry, tobacco and leather. This is bold, powerful, masculine and velvety on the finish. Pair it with stewed or grilled meat marinated in rosemary and garlic. Age…

Arnaldo Caprai 2006 25 Anni Sagrantino (Sagrantino di Montefalco)
- Cellar Selection
- $100
Vintner Marco Caprai is the man who has tamed the tannic, unruly beast that is Sagrantino. Having carefully aged for two years in oak, this has become deeply elegant and sophisticated. Aromas of chocolate, exotic spice, dark berry, leather, tobacco and dried prune leave a lasting impression. Age for 10 years or more.

Arnaldo Caprai 1998 Venticinque Anni 25 Sagrantino (Sagrantino di Montefalco)
- Cellar Selection
- $88
Wonderful aromas are of cedar, earth and leather. The flavors are intense black plums and dark chocolate. The tannins are huge but the fruit and complexity will still be there when they soften. This wine needs some time: drink 2005–2015. Cellar Selection. —C.S.

Arnaldo Caprai 2001 25 Anni Sagrantino (Sagrantino di Montefalco)
- Cellar Selection
- $110
Not a wine you will easily forget. Marketing-savvy Marco Caprai has taken a difficult, little-known variety and turned it into an international superstar. A made-to-please wine—meaning all nuts and bolts are screwed tight in terms of color, aromatics and structure—it has tar, coffee, leather and velvety fullness in the mouth. Imported by Villa Italia.

The 2007 vintage was beautiful in Umbria, and this proves to be a stand out wine with enormous power, personality and depth. It delivers gorgeous intensity with pulses of black cherry, chocolate fudge, spice, leather and pipe tobacco. The finish is soft and rich.

Arnaldo Caprai 1999 25 Anni Sagrantino (Sagrantino di Montefalco)
- Cellar Selection
- $100
This might be the quintessential Sagrantino. It’s jammed full of tobacco, cola, plum and blackberry aromas. Nothing disappoints after that; the palate is a blast of black fruit and cherry, while the finish hits squarely with rock-hard tannins as well as a delicious buttery oak note. Hold for more than five years for best results.

Goretti 2003 Le Mura Saracene Sagrantino (Sagrantino di Montefalco)

The Sagrantino grape from Umbria makes a uniquely distinguished wine and Goretti’s Le Mura Saracene is one of the best examples of this beautiful variety available in the U.S. The wine opens with a bright, saturated color and delivers gorgeous notes of spice, from Indian curry to nutmeg and clove, for deep penetration and personality. Red fruit at the core is left…
