Montefalco With your hands

Sagrantino at Caprai: vineyards, cellar and a guided tasting

Montefalco

Sagrantino nearly went out of existence, and Montefalco is where it was pulled back. Caprai's vines run down the slope below the town, and the walk goes through them before it goes underground.

How the day goes

  1. Out into the vineyard, Montefalco sitting on the ridge above you.
  2. Through the cellar, then the guided tasting where it all lands.
  3. Longer formats exist — older vintages, a table among the vines — if you ask when booking.

Sagrantino is tannic and unapologetic about it; if that is not the wine you drink, taste it here anyway, because this is where it comes from.

Where it is

Montefalco at its real position from Rome, with everywhere else we list behind it — so you can see how far out this one is.
