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.
Tasting Notes
On the palate, the balance is impressive. Bright acidity keeps the ripe red fruit fresh, while firm tannins and a hint of oak add depth. There’s a lingering finish with traces of tobacco and dark chocolate, making it a wine that evolves beautifully in the glass.
This vintage is approachable now but has the backbone to age. It’s a perfect match for rustic Italian dishes, grilled meats, or aged cheeses. A well-crafted Montefalco Rosso that delivers quality and authenticity.
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.
