Masses of black cherry, sage, brown spice and mocha waft up from the 2016 Montefalco Rosso. This is soft and cool-toned, with a pure display of ripe plums giving way to purple-tinged inner florals. The expression turns more savory through the finale, tapering off to tart wild berries framed by a coating of gentle tannins. The Montefalco Rosso is a blend of 70% Sangiovese, 15% Sagrantino and 15% Merlot. (Eric Guido, Vinous, August 2021)

Noteworthy for good balance - just the right weight. Mint, marshmallow, and dark fruit on the nose. Slightly tannic. Good for grilled meat or pastas.

I can’t rate it. Served very cold, and there was some spicy mustard-horseradish sauce on the plate that knocked out my tastebuds and sinuses. (On a Swiss flight)
