But at a certain point, something shifted: the desire to explore an even higher dimension, to bring the Umbrian grape to a different stage. Marco had only one name in mind: <strong>Michel Rolland<\/strong> , the man who, back in the 1970s in Bordeaux, had understood that modern wine lay elsewhere\u2014in cleanliness, in finesse, in the elimination of those &#8220;flaws&#8221; that were passed off as typicality. The fateful meeting occurred at Vinexpo 2015. Marco positioned himself in front of Rolland&#8217;s stand with his bottles and wouldn&#8217;t budge: <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m not moving from here until I talk to him.&#8221;<\/em> Thirty minutes of tastings followed, which would change the history of Sagrantino, the Caprai winery, and even Umbrian winemaking. From that harvest (summer 2015), one of those that mark the destiny of a territory, began a collaboration that saw Rolland and his right-hand man <strong>Julien Viaud<\/strong> (now his technical heir) work on the raw power of Sagrantino to transform it into something radically different.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taming Sagrantino: integral winemaking<br \/>\n<\/strong> Sagrantino is unique: it contains two to three times the polyphenols of any other grape variety in the world. This is a tremendous asset, but also a major technical challenge. Rolland introduced so-called <strong>integral vinification<\/strong> to the winery, an approach almost meditative in its rigor. The whole grapes are placed in barriques with dry ice for two weeks, in the total absence of oxygen. During fermentation, each barrique is rotated three times a day: the skins become heavier, sinking, and rising. This slow, continuous bath works on the tannins without stressing them. The result is a texture that no longer bites and becomes velvety. A technique born for Merlot, boldly adapted to a variety that is polar opposite in structure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The three labels in the glass at Vinitaly &#8211; The tasting<br \/>\n<\/strong> At the Caprai tasting counter at Vinitaly, Rolland&#8217;s legacy\u2014and that of this entire journey\u2014is clearly evident in three wines, including &#8220;Spinning Beauty,&#8221; created as a tribute to his father, Arnaldo Caprai, who recently passed away, and to the family&#8217;s textile history (the spinning needle on the label is no coincidence).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-18363\" src=\"https:\/\/winereporter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260414_111215-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winereporter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260414_111215-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/winereporter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260414_111215-577x1024.jpg 577w, https:\/\/winereporter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260414_111215-768x1364.jpg 768w, https:\/\/winereporter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260414_111215-865x1536.jpg 865w, https:\/\/winereporter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260414_111215-1153x2048.jpg 1153w, https:\/\/winereporter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260414_111215-1024x1819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/winereporter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/20260414_111215-scaled.jpg 1441w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Malcompare Pinot Noir<\/strong> &#8211; The <strong>2021 vintage<\/strong> demands patience: raspberry, floral, savory, and still-young tannins that need to unfold.

Il mio obiettivo di giornalista \u00e8 quello di raccontare il vino in modo moderno, senza filtri, con una libert\u00e0 nuova, utilizzando il potere delle immagini e del web per arrivare dritto al cuore del lettore.
