Umbria

The Grechetto “Grecante” by Arnaldo Caprai is one of the quintessential white wines from Umbria. The Grechetto grape variety is firmly linked to the local history and tradition, and it expresses the Umbrian territory in its white version. The Caprai winery, one of the most famous names in regional winemaking, is well aware of this special belonging of the grape and is committed to enhancing it to the fullest of its potential. The characteristics of pleasantness and freshness are refined into a fine and elegant trait, making the “Grecante” suitable for countless contexts. The goal that looks to quality cannot disregard a great care directed towards the environment and its sustainability, a topic very close to the heart of the Arnaldo Caprai winery.
“Grecante” is a pure Grechetto, coming from vineyards located in the Montefalco area, the homeland of the red Sagrantino, in Umbria. Following the harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and the obtained must is fermented in steel containers. The aging process, lasting 3 months, also takes place in steel. A final period of at least 3 months in the bottle completes the maturation and makes the Grechetto by Arnaldo Caprai ready for marketing.
Arnaldo Caprai Grechetto “Grecante” has a straw-yellow colour, with good brightness. Its aroma is intense and engaging; it leans towards notes of ripe and exotic fruit, among which stand out memories of yellow peach and melon, and white floral notes of freesia and hawthorn, set in a fine chalky minerality. On the palate, it presents itself with a full body and evident freshness. The mineral vein that makes the sip tense and prolonged towards a long and delightful finish is even more pronounced in taste. A liquid snapshot of the Umbrian territory captured in a bottle.
