I have been a big fan of past vintages of this wine. The 2010 Montefalco Sagrantino Collepiano delivers on my expectations. If you are new to Sagrantino, this wine is a great place to start. You get an authentic taste of the power and sheer determination of the tannic Sagrantino grape, but the contours have been softened and controlled by the careful attention that this estate is known for. Prune, dark plum and blackberry are at the core of this super dense wine. Spice, leather, Spanish cedar and chewing tobacco also play prominent roles. Collepiano is built to last.

Fig cake and sun-dried black cherry notes are rich and ripe in this expressive red, married to fine-grained tannins and savory accents of black olive, cured tobacco, leather and spice, lingering on the chewy finish. Best from 2018 through 2026. 11,000 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Montefalco Sagrantino Select to Add
