Notes of spiced cherries and dried strawberry bush with hints of bark and cocoa. Medium-bodied, juicy and racy with bright, red-fruited character and a textured, linear finish. Drink now.

90pts Wine Enthusiast

Sour plum intertwines with rosemary, flowers and sour cherry on the palate, presenting solid fruit flavors. The wine is really tasty, with mixed spice and fine tannins that bring a touch of underbrush earthiness.

Vinous

Dark and brooding in the glass, the 2020 Montefalco Rosso smolders up with a rich blend of cherry sauce, brown spice and freshly tilled earth. Round and pliant, this delivers juicy red and blue fruits complemented by sweet herbs. Chalky tannins linger on the slightly dry medium-length finish.

Tasting Notes

Ruby red with violet hues. Floral scents, reminiscent of violets, accompanied by fruity notes of ripe cherry and lightly spicy notes. Well structured wine, balanced with soft tannins and good persistence.

Winemaker Notes

Montefalco Rosso is a typical Umbrian wine with great versatility, which can match the complexity of a great wine with freshness and drinkability. It’s made mostly from the grapes of Sangiovese with a small percentage of a well-known indigenous grape, Merlot and Colorino. An ideal companion for a wide variety of dishes.

Pair with: Goes well with pasta dishes, soup with legumes, red meat and poultry, cold cuts and cheeses. 

Blend : 70% Sangiovese, 15% native vine, 10% Merlot and 5% Colorino.
