Something different from Arnaldo Caprai, a relatively young (1971)winery founded by textile magnate Arnaldo Caprai. Now run by son Marco, the winery, famous for its Sagrantino, also produces Grechetto, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet, and olive oil. The 2006 Grecante is 100% Grechetto, a native Umbrian grape that produces a darkish, straw-yellow, green-tinged wine. Very floral/fruity nose. Nice, balanced acidity. Very enjoyable as an aperitif. Vinified and aged in stainless steel.
