Per questa seconda Pasqua in lockdown, la Arnaldo Caprai porta in tavola il frutto del suo profondo e instancabile lavoro di ricerca e valorizzazione del terroir: il Malcompare Pinot Nero Umbria IGT, che insieme a Spinning Beauty e Belcompare va a comporre la linea Arnaldo Caprai Signature, top di gamma della cantina di Montefalco guidata da Marco Caprai.
Nato nel 2015 dalla collaborazione con l’enologo francese di fama internazionale Michel Rolland, Malcompare è un 100% Pinot Nero, rotondo e fresco, con sentori di viola e lampone, che in bocca regala note dolci di legno e spezie (dovute ai 2 anni di maturazione in barrique, a cui seguono 8 mesi in bottiglia) e un finale morbido e setoso. Intrigante con i suoi tannini setosi e cremosi, ha un potenziale di affinamento di oltre dieci anni.
Si sposa perfettamente con primi saporiti e secondi a base di carne e selvaggina. Per valorizzarlo al meglio si può optare per piatti del territorio, abbinandolo a delle tagliatelle con salsiccia e tartufo nero, seguite da uno spezzatino di cinghiale in umido.

ARNALDO CAPRAI FARM AT A GLANCE
Few other wineries in Italy and around the world are immediately identified just by mentioning the name of the denomination to which they belong, like Arnaldo Caprai, itself a symbol of Sagrantino di Montefalco. A unique reality, synonymous with Italian excellence, capable of creating wines that are out of the ordinary in terms of depth, elegance and longevity: not only reds, but also whites. The credit for this adventure that began in the late 1970s goes to Marco Caprai, Arnaldo's son. It was he, in fact, more than anyone else who believed in the richness of Sagrantino, reinterpreting it in a modern key, through the most innovative production and business management methods, which have enabled him to win the favour of the public and critics all over the world. Not to be outdone by the whites: Arnaldo Caprai's Grecante, 100% Grechetto, managed to conquer Wine Spectator's Top100.
A great company, Arnaldo Caprai, that guards a green soul, considering issues concerning sustainability, protection and safeguarding the environment as fundamental. The point of observation always remains the same: trying to behave in harmony with natural evolution cycles, preserving and enhancing the territory in which it operates. This is why the company decided to create an Environmental Management System that complies with international regulations, developing a voluntary territorial protocol of environmental, economic and social sustainability of the production process.
It is in this unparalleled context that wines of unforgettable substance are born, complex and elegant, capable of narrating the best of an entire region, Umbria.
