Sagrantino di Montefalco, the company's flagship, is a wine destined to leave an indelible mark on the history of Italian wine.

Arnaldo Caprai's Brut Plus Noir represents excellence in the production of Italian classic method sparkling wines. This wine, the result of a careful selection of Pinot Noir grapes grown on the company's Umbrian estates, best expresses the unique characteristics of this international grape variety, interpreted in a Mediterranean key. The vinification of Brut Plus Noir follows the rigorous classic method. The grapes, harvested by hand, are softly pressed and the must ferments in steel at a controlled temperature. This is followed by the second fermentation in the bottle, with aging on the yeasts for at least 20 months. This long period of contact with the yeasts gives the wine complexity and aromatic depth.

Bright straw yellow color with greenish reflections, typical of the youth of the wine and vinification in steel. Fine and persistent perlage, with minute bubbles that form an elegant and continuous rosary. The nose is broad and complex, with fruity notes of golden apple, pear and citrus that intertwine with delicate floral hints of hawthorn and acacia. Deeper nuances of bread crust and yeast are also perceived, typical of refermentation in the bottle. On the palate it is fresh, savoury and very well-balanced. The bubbles envelop the palate with a persistent caress, enhancing the minerality and freshness of the fruit. The structure is fine and delicate, with a long and persistent finish on citrus and mineral notes. The Brut Plus Noir by Arnaldo Caprai is an extremely versatile wine, perfect for accompanying aperitifs, delicate starters, first courses based on fish or shellfish, and vegetarian dishes. It is also ideal as a wine for the whole meal, thanks to its freshness and its ability to pair with different types of dishes.
