88pts Wine Enthusiast

This wine opens like a Western film as dusty earth and dried herbs blow across glass while warmed blackberries and cherries await to be added to a pie. Tart plum flavors takes center stage on the palate accompanied by an entourage of spice that weaves its way through the palate. Brace yourself for a very astringent finish that demands your attention and leaves a lasting impression, but is lifted on the finish by fresh acidity. A contrast for sure that needs to be matched with rich, fatty and grilled dishes.

Tasting Notes

Well structured wine, balanced with soft tannins and good persistence.
Serving suggestions: it goes well with pasta dishes, soup with legumes, red meat and poultry, cold cuts and cheeses.

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.
