Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
This Sagrantino di Montefalco shows an intense ruby red color and nuances
of ruby red, little transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing
and refined aromas which start with hints of black cherry, plum and
blackberry followed by aromas of violet, blueberry, vanilla, tobacco, pink
pepper, cocoa and eucalyptus. The mouth has good correspondence to the
nose, a tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense
flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry, blackberry
and plum. This Sagrantino di Montefalco ages for 15 months in barrique
followed by at least 9 months of aging in bottle. |
