Description
Grecante is a 2024 Grechetto from Arnaldo Caprai in Umbria, central Italy. Caprai is best known for its reds from Montefalco, while Grechetto is an old Umbrian white grape that gives dry whites with a firm, slightly savory structure.
Grilled fish, spaghetti with clams and roast chicken with lemon suit it at 9 to 11°C, and so does fresh pecorino. It is a straightforward white for the table and does not need decanting.
Questions about Arnaldo Caprai Grecante Grechetto 2024
- What kind of wine is Arnaldo Caprai Grecante Grechetto?
- It is a dry white from Umbria made from Grechetto, a local grape with citrus, almond and green apple notes and a firm, slightly waxy texture. Arnaldo Caprai is based in Montefalco and is better known for its red Sagrantino.
- What food goes with Grechetto?
- Grechetto has enough texture and acidity for roast chicken, grilled vegetables and soft cheeses. Umbrian cooks match it with porchetta, truffle pasta and freshwater fish, since the grape keeps a savory, nutty edge.
- Is Grechetto sweet or dry?
- Grecante is a dry wine. Grechetto naturally has low sugar potential and brisk acidity, so the almond-tinged finish stays clean rather than sweet. It drinks best young and lightly chilled.
