Say Caprai and you immediately think of red Sagrantino, but the truth is that Marco Caprai's tireless work towards the enhancement of Umbrian viticulture and native grape varieties is also aimed at white varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the case with Grechetto, the symbolic white grape of Umbria, which Caprai has been offering since 1989 with its Grecante<\/strong>A wine of great personality and character, perhaps one of the most important Grechettos in the region and consequently in Italy. A smooth and balanced white, rich and multifaceted, very long, which with the 2016 vintage has managed to enter fully into Wine Spectator's prestigious Top100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Montefalco, which like only the world's great wine territories manages to combine the quality of both red and white wines,<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Caprai, it has always passed through research and experimentation, conducted together with the University of Milan: constant work that from the outset has also involved international grape varieties, in order to understand which ones can best express their potential in Montefalco in Umbria, assimilating unique peculiarities that can only be brought out thanks to this territory. This is the case of the Chardonnay Umbria IGT <\/strong>and the Sauvignon Umbria IGT<\/strong>The first is seductive, fresh, rich in hints of citrus, pear and white peach, with mineral and delicately buttery notes; the second is an explosion of white flowers, with a touch of citrus and fun vegetal notes. Then there is the intense and refined Cuv\u00e9e Secr\u00e8te<\/strong>which was launched in 2012 and which each year combines the best of the Montefalco winery's white berry production in a blend, as the name suggests, that is absolutely secret but which, in addition to Grechetto, aims to make the most of the best expressiveness of Italian and international varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These four labels are now joined by a Classic Method Brut<\/strong>Far from being yet another exercise in style dictated by commercial objectives. The story of this new label encapsulates - and goes even further than - the entire green philosophy that Marco Caprai has been pursuing for years to enhance and keep intact and vital the typical characteristics of the Montefalco territory, knowing how to compete over time in a condition of sustainability. That same environmental, economic and social sustainability has found full representation in the 'Montefalco 2015: The New Green Revolution' project, the first territorial sustainability protocol in the wine industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, the 2 hectares of vineyards dedicated to the production of the new Metodo Classico Brut Arnaldo Caprai are not just any two hectares. The project, in fact, stems from the idea of replanting an area located towards the Apennine ridge in the Marche region, a portion of land that benefits from the influence of the sea at an altitude of between 500 and 800 metres above sea level, and of enhancing the inland areas of the Apennines between Umbria and Marche where, following the earthquakes that hit them, a real depopulation is underway that can only be fought with new enhancement projects. It was here that Marco Caprai, after careful study and analysis, decided to plant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and try to produce his first Metodo Classico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From a project with a good heart can only be born something equally good: and so are these bubbles that are left to age on the mild at least 20 months, 50%Pinot Nero 50% Chardonnay. The vintage on the market today is the 2017, the second vintage produced that already demonstrates a fabric and class that rivals many other Italian metodo classico wines of longer experience and renown. These and the other Arnaldo Caprai labels will also be on tasting at Vinitaly (Verona, 7-10 April 2019, Hall 7 - B6), where the first vintage of wines - the 2015 - signed by Michel Rolland, the French oenologist considered among the most authoritative on the international scene or, as Marco Caprai defines him, \"our Cristiano Ronaldo\", with whom the collaboration began 4 years ago, will also make its debut.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dici Caprai e pensi subito al Sagrantino rosso, ma in verit\u00e0 l\u2019instancabile opera di Marco Caprai verso la valorizzazione della viticoltura dell\u2019Umbria e dei vitigni […]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-comunicati-stampa"],"meta_box":{"colore_sfondo_articoli":"#BFBFBF","frase_articolo":"","data_articolo":"27 Marzo 2019","luogo_articolo":"Montefalco (PG)","link_articolo":"","link_articolo_url":"","gruppo_articolo_download":[{"download_articolo_titolo":"Scarica il Comunicato stampa","download_articolo_file_input":"https:\/\/arnaldocaprai.motive.ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/CS-CAPRAI-4-WHITES.pdf"}],"gruppo_articolo_download_en":[],"immagine_articolo":[],"box_approfondimento_articolo":" AZIENDA AGRICOLA ARNALDO CAPRAI IN SINTESI<\/strong>
