The 2006 Montefalco Rosso is a beautiful entry-level red from the Montefalco appellation. A blend of 70% Sangiovese, 15% Sagrantino and 15% Merlot, this juicy red offers tons of fruit along with pretty notes of leather, herbs and earthiness that add complexity. The estate’s Rosso is aged in cask. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012.
Colpetrone is part of the Saiagricola group of wineries that includes La Poderina in Montalcino and Fattoria del Cerro in Montepulciano, both leading properties in their respective regions. The wines of Colpetrone are equally outstanding. Oenologist Lorenzo Landi interprets Sagrantino in a rich, full-bodied style.
