Sagrantino
Sweet Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✭

Sagrantino di Montefalco Passito Colle Grimaldesco shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas that start with hints of blackberry, plum and black cherry followed by aromas of dried violet, vanilla, coconut, tobacco, tamarind, cocoa, dried fig, pink pepper, menthol and nail polish. 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, plum and black cherry. A well made wine. Sagrantino di Montefalco Passito Colle Grimaldesco ages for 30 months in cask followed by 6 months of aging in bottle.
