Arnaldo Caprai Description
During the renaissance many wines were known as “Greco, Grecante, Grechetto.” Montefalco’s Grecante was one of the most appreciated. Indeed, the head of the Municipality of Montefalco used to send this wine as a precious gift to princes and important clergymen. Arnaldo Caprai’s Grecante keeps this long tradition alive.
Tasting Notes: Intense perfumes of exotic fruit and yellow peach, floral notes of freesia and hawthorn, pleasing chalkiness on the finish. Full, fresh taste with a long persistence.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
With fruit from loamy calcareous soils, the Arnaldo Caprai 2021 Colli Martani Grechetto Grecante is always a pleasure to drink. It makes me long for hot summer afternoons. Made in stainless steel only, there is a lot of tangy freshness here backed by white peach, passion fruit and crushed stone. This is a well-priced production of 140,000 bottles.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
A lively, light- to medium-bodied white, with lots of tangerine and ruby red grapefruit fruit flavor and accents of fresh herb, spice and smoke, all backed by tangy acidity. Lightly chalky on the mouthwatering finish.
