This Montefalco Sagrantino Passito shows an intense ruby red color and
nuances of garnet red, little transparency. The nose reveals intense,
clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas that start with hints of
blackberry, black cherry and plum followed by aromas of dried violet,
vanilla, chocolate, tobacco, mace, nail polish, mace and menthol. The
mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a sweet and tannic attack,
however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, pleasing
roundness. The finish is persistent with flavors of blackberry, black
cherry and plum. This Montefalco Sagrantino Passito ages for 12 months in
barrique followed by at least 6 months of aging in bottle. |
