Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✧

The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of blackberry, plum and dried violet followed by aromas of blueberry, violet, vanilla, tobacco, chocolate, leather, mace, graphite and menthol. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, pleasing roundness. The finish is very persistent with long flavors of blackberry, plum and black cherry. Sagrantino di Montefalco Colle alle Macchie ages for 24 months in barrique.
