The 2009 Montefalco Sagrantino is a slightly oxidized red wine with a heavy bouquet that is ripe with jammy, dark fruit. The style here is on the extreme side of the spectrum for Sagrantino and the warm 2009 vintage has also played an important role in softening the bold fruit. Sagrantino is a cellar-worthy grape, but I would suggest a slightly shorter drinking window here. Abundant tones of freshly milled black peppercorns appear on the long, rich finish.
