The 2007 Montefalco Sagrantino illustrates the level of quality Perticaia is known for. Sheer power and concentration make a strong first impression and the wine peels back one thick layer after another. You’ll recognize dark spice, black cherry, used leather, tar and toasted cedar. There’s a touch of sweetness but ultimately that characteristic Sagrantino tannin is what carries the wine forward. Drink: 2015-2022. Importer: USA Wine West, www.usawinewest.com

Dark and bitter from start to finish, with dense layers of medicinal herb, black licorice and ashy pine accenting the jammy blackberry compote and plum sauce notes. Brawny but balanced, with a long, fruit-driven finish. Drink now through 2025. 1,200 cases made, 300 cases imported.??–NW??Region: Italy / Montefalco Sagrantino Select to Add
