The Sagrantino di Montefalco Collepiano, first produced in 1979, is Caprai's more accessible Sagrantino. In top vintages, it has proven to age very nicely. The Collepiano is aged in French oak, roughly 1/3 of which is new. The estate's 1999 Sagrantino di Montefalco Collepiano is fully mature at age ten. Worn-in leather, spices and prunes are some of the nuances that emerge from this full-bodied red. Here the aromas and flavors have developed at a faster rate than the wine's structural components, and a measure of balance vis-à-vis the finest vintages is missing.
