Arnaldo Caprai - Outsider Rosso Umbria IGT 2001

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

The family operation began in 1971 when textiles entrepreneur Arnaldo Caprai purchased 12.5 acres in Montefalco. In 1988, ownership passed on to Arnaldo’s son, Marco, who began the project to cultivate the promotion of the grape that has been growing in the Montefalco region for more than 400 years: Sagrantino. Today, the winery is the leading producer of top quality Sagrantino di Montefalco, a wine produced exclusively from this native variety. In addition to its commitment to quality, Arnaldo Caprai is recognized for its dedication to environmental, economic and social sustainability, as well as being champions for the wines of Umbria.

The 2001 Outsider is superior to the 2000 vintage, the first to be bottled. A Bordeaux blend with the maximum focus, purity, and expressiveness in its aromas, its concentrated body, superior delineation and complexity, and long, rich finish indicate that it will drink well for another decade and a half. This wine demonstrates that Umbria can make Cabernet-based wines which comfortably compete with the best of Italy, Tuscany included.
