Tenuta Alzatura Montefalco Sagrantino (2014)

The Sagrantino has an intense ruby-red color with shades of violet and garnet. The bouquet is refined and complex at the core of which are harmonious aromas of blackberry, plum, vanilla, leather and coffee. On the palate, it is complex and intense, a full-bodied wine.

Tasting Notes

92 Wine Spectator
A fresh Sagrantino in a harmonious style, though still firm and focused. Grippy tannins and a spine of graphite-edged mineral are layered with baked black cherry and cassis, cured tobacco and licorice. Woodsy spice and smoke notes play on the finish. Best from 2022 through 2030. 1,500 cases made, 200 cases imported.

90 James Suckling
A little hard and tannic, but there’s some interesting blue fruit here, together with walnuts. Medium body and chewy tannins. A little dry at the end. Drink and enjoy now.
