Description and technical sheet

The Pinot Nero IGT Malcompare is one of the most ambitious and surprising expressions of Umbrian winemaking, born from Arnaldo Caprai's innovative vision. Grown in the heart of the Monte della Torre estate, in the Gualdo Cattaneo area, this Pinot Noir develops in a unique terroir where elevation (over 400 meters a.s.l.), exposure, and temperature variations ensure optimal grape ripening. The soils, composed of clay mixed with calcareous and sandy sediments, lend the wine remarkable elegance and complexity. The approach in the vineyard and winery is meticulous: low yields, hand harvesting, fermentation in truncated cone vats with indigenous yeasts, and aging in barrique for about a year. Malcompare represents a successful challenge—interpreting Pinot Noir in an unusual setting with stunning results in finesse, freshness, and depth.

Pinot Nero IGT Malcompare – Arnaldo Caprai: Tasting Notes

Malcompare reveals a bright, transparent ruby red color. The nose is striking for its aromatic finesse: wild strawberries, crisp cherry, and raspberry are followed by delicate floral notes of rose and violet, with hints of white pepper, licorice, and forest floor. On the palate, it is silky, fresh, and well balanced, with ultra-fine tannins and a mineral streak that enhances its elegance. The finish is long, harmonious, and subtly balsamic. A perfect match for refined dishes such as carpaccio, braised game birds, and soft cheeses.
