For a valuable Easter, Arnaldo Caprai brings Malcompare Pinot Nero Umbria IGT to the table

For this second Easter in lockdown, Arnaldo Caprai brings to the table the fruit of its profound and tireless work in researching and enhancing terroir Malcompare Pinot Nero Umbria IGTwhich together with Spinning Beauty and Belcompare makes up the Arnaldo Caprai Signature line, top of the range of the Montefalco winery led by Marco Caprai.

Born in 2015 from the collaboration with the internationally renowned French oenologist Michel Rolland, Malcompare is a 100% Pinot Noir, round and fresh with hints of violets and raspberry, which on the palate offers sweet notes of wood and spices (due to the 2 years of maturation in barrique, followed by 8 months in the bottle) and a soft, silky finish. Intriguing with its silky, creamy tannins, it has an ageing potential of over ten years.

It goes perfectly with savoury first and second courses based on meat and game. To make the most of it, you can opt for local dishes, pairing it with tagliatelle with sausage and black truffle, followed by a wild boar stew.
