From a 375ml bottle. This is 100% Sagrantino made as a desert wine. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose has black raspberries, black currants, and spice. Full bodied. Slightly sweet. On the palate, black currants, soy sauce and spice. Intriguing and a bit exotic. Long finish. This is nice on its own and would be nice with a piece of Biscotti. Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.
This is one of the better values in Montefalco Sagrantino. While it may not be as good as some of the very expensive options, it is still an outstanding wine. At age 12, this bottle is just about at prime. The vintage, 2011, was good but not great, so this is a nice wine to see how well one likes mature Sagrantino. Purple in color with slight browning. The nose has black cherries, char, vanilla and spices. Medium bodied. Silky tannins. On the palate, black cherries, dried cherries and wisps of smoke. Moderate finish. This drinks easy and is probably better with food at this point
One of the top wines coming out of Italy. This is made from 100% Sagrantino grapes in Montefalco, Italy. Just now really entering its drinking window. Deep purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is big with plums, black raspberries, clove, and slight leather. Full bodied. Firm tannins. Good acidity. On the palate, this is complex and layered. Flavors of black cherries, black raspberries, char, spice and just a hint of forest floor. Long finish. This is delightful on its own, but better with food. It went great with Eggplant Lasagna. Drink over the next ten to fifteen year
This is 100% Sagrantino from central Italy. Typically, this wine needs a minimum of 10 years ageing, but, it's nice to try one young to determine if it is worth purchasing more. Purple in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is nice with a "sweet" scent of black cherries, dust, cloves and slight vanilla note. Full bodied. Very tannic! On the palate, this is deep but tight. Black cherries with cloves and black pepper. A bit of anise on the finish. This is 15.5% abv., but not noticeable while drinking. It is delicious but needs another five to ten years cellaring and then shoul
This is one of the great wines of Italy even if relatively obscure to the general wine drinking public. it is made from the Sagrantino grape which is tannic and needs time to develop. This is 13 years old and still needs more time until peak. Purple in color. The nose has black cherries, plums, slight coffee and anise. On the palate, a wall of black cherry fruit with firm tannins. It is thick and delicious. With air, some additional notes of anise and spice come out on the palate. Good acidity. Long finish.
