"The 2018 Montefalco Sagrantino is hauntingly dark and floral in the glass, slowly evolving to show dried black cherry, plum, incense, dusty rose and hints of cocoa. It feels lifted and feminine with silky textures contrasted by bright red berry fruits and exotic spices flowing across a zesty, acidic core. This finishes with classic Sagrantino tannins, chalky and fine, and a lavender resonance. It's a total success for the vintage." - By Eric Guido on July 2023

"Sweet and savory spices lift from the glass as black plum preserves and blackberyy compote sprinkled with thyme and violets emerge from this wine. The spice-driven and full bodied wine dominates the palate with generous black fruit notes, firm yet balanced tannins and an earth-driven finish."- WE
Our Tasting Notes: Tarry, smoky nose macerated black cherry, tobacco, very full bodied but balanced and very approachable now for a Sagrantino. Chewy structured tannins are ripe and mesh well with the beautiful fruit. Long finish.
