Wine Spectator Top 100 wine tasting

Wine Enthusiast European Winery of 2012

“The Saveur 100: Chefs’ Edition”: ARNALDO CAPRAI’s COOKING CLASS in Umbria is one of the 100 must-try things.

Easy show-cooking-class by Chef Salvatore Denaro, accompanied by Wine Spectator’s TOP 100 “Grecante”.

Libidinous recipes mixing of Sicily with Umbria are famous. Plus TRUFFLE…

OK, St. Francis was born here, but you don’t have to be ascetic like him, on the contrary…

This place it’s an extraordinary “hidden gem”, you have to be a real expert to find it… or one of our guest!

You’ll learn about a kind of Italian cuisine that is very rare, but so high quality to be selected by Saveur magazine as one of the 100 things you must try…

In addition to that Arnaldo Caprai winery is the Wine Enthusiast’s European Winery of 2012… and Wine Spectator Top 100 with an astonishing white wine…

PRIVATE TOUR of the Wine Enthusiast European Winery of the year 2012.

One of our Wine Educators will be at your complete disposal accompanying you on a visit to the cellar.

The visit begins with a view of the vineyards, which will be followed by an internal route to follow all the stages of the production process, from the fermentation area to that of aging, up to bottling.

COOKING CLASS LUNCH & pairing TOP wines.

An easy cooking lesson mixed with show-cooking managed by Chef Salvatore Denaro.

The menu varies according to the season (however, the libidinous recipe combinations from Sicily with recipes from Umbria are famous … not to mention the truffle …)

The cooking lesson is accompanied by our wines: Grecante 2019, Montefalco Rosso 2017, Sagrantino Collepiano 2015.

Concreteness, authenticity & simplicity!

Umbria region is a lot less famous if compared with its neighboring region Tuscany, but…

Umbria has maintained many medieval traditions in wine and food, it is permeated with a widespread mystical sprit due to the presence of St. Francis, it has remained absolutely authentic and traditional, without conceding anything to contamination and “dramas” for tourists…

Number of People:
