Arnaldo Caprai Anima Umbria Rosso 2018

The vines of Caprai’s Anima are trained on spurred cordon trellising systems with a vine density of 4.000- 8.000 vines (per ha), yielding 8 tons (per ha). The wine is aged for 8 months in French oak barrique and a further 3 months of aging in bottle before it is released.

The wine has an expressive and appealing blend of Sangiovese (85%) and Canaiolo (15%); red fruit fills the glass with notes of sour cherry, red currant, and raspberries. The fruit is accompanied by notes of cigar box, underbrush, crushed earl grey tea leaves, and nutmeg. The wine is dry, medium-bodied, with long length and bright acidity.

A great accompaniment for mild and aged cheeses, mushroom risotto or braised wild boar.
