International Wine Review

Complex nose showing fresh dark plum and berry with earthy mushroom notes. Silky smooth, densely flavored palate; complex earthy dark fruited with firm dry tannins and a long rich finish. Superlatives do not suffice to describe this wine. Aged 24 months in French oak barriques. 15.5% alc. Even more elegant and accessible than the 2014 vintage also tasted, yet more concentrated as well.

Andreas Larsson, Tasted

Still a very inky and youthful core with a garnet rim. Intense and complex nose packed with violet, tobacco, smoke, blackberry, cherry, some balsamic notes and new oak. There´s a fine balance on the palate despite very intense tannin, good degree of polish thus the tannins contribute with a good sense of freshness. Inky and dark fruit flavours black cherry, cassis, a peppery spiciness on the finish and tremendously long finish. Superb potential here…

Robert Parker

This bottle is a true ambassador for Umbria. You get ample varietal tones in the 2016 Montefalco Sagrantino 25 Anni, with bitter chocolate and baking spice, but Caprai does a terrific job of softening up and fleshing out the Sagrantino grape to display a more contemporary and ultimately more approachable and versatile wine. It boasts a huge, bold and opulent mouthfeel with plenty of structure and determination.

Decanter

Spicy, fragrant bramble fruits and blueberry hints with a veil of herbiness. Already integrated, grainy tannins will bear the weight of this big-boned wine for years to come. Tangy wild cherry attack followed by sumptuously silky hedgerow berries and cracked black pepper spice. The mid-palate is very spicy and slightly woody, yet the fruit carries to the finish, joined by herbs and minty acidity. Still youthful and relatively closed, this is a wine full of promise.

Vinous

The truly captivating 2016 Montefalco Sagrantino 25 Anni pulls you close to the glass with a beguiling bouquet that mixes citrus-tinged black fruits with exotic spices, hints of oregano, menthol and a dusting of cocoa. While there’s admirable weight and depth here, the textures are more like pure silk, delicately draped across the palate, yet leaving behind a saturating blend of intense dark fruits, minerals and fine-grained tannin. There’s so much depth and concentration to work through that, even as the 2016 finishes youthfully structured and dry, it continues to resonate for well over a minute with notes of currant, sage and dark chocolate. Bury this beautiful beast for at least 3–5 years in your cellar, and then enjoy it over the next decade or more. This is a fantastic rendition of Arnaldo Caprai’s 25 Anni.
