Here's a new, single-vineyard expression from Antonelli San Marco that hit the shelves in December 2020. An inaugural release of 1,335 bottles, the 2015 Montefalco Sagrantino Molino dell'Attone is an organic wine that shows dark cherry fruit, Spanish cedar and baking spice. The tannins are grippy, tight and help to dry out the palate after a creamy bite of lasagna with béchamel sauce.

The 2012 Montefalco Sagrantino is a darkly layered and powerful wine. This is a bold and firmly structured wine that is shaped by a warm and long growing season. The bouquet is dense and syrupy with blackberry preserves, dried cherry, dried plum and prune. The mouthfeel is rich with a slightly gritty or granular texture. The finish is long, determined and firm. You definitely need to pair this Umbrian red with a flavorful food, such as fire-roasted meat or succulent steak.

The 2009 Montefalco Sagrantino is a beautiful wine that will appeal to those of us who love the rough-around-the-edges Sagrantino grape. The wine shows impressive intensity and power, but it also delivers elegance and harmony. The bouquet is defined by blackberry preserves, spice, leather and grilled herb. The tannins are well managed and firm without astringency.

The 2008 Montefalco Sagrantino is a massive wine with dark spice aromas, ripe fruit, prune, tar leather and tobacco. The aromas transport you somewhere exotic, like a spice marker in the Middle East. Gritty tannins show some coarseness on the close. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2022. Importer: Omniwines Distributing Co.; www.omniwines.com
