Antonelli 2009 Montefalco Sagrantino

(100% Sagrantino, fermented on skins for 25-40 days; aged at least 18 months in oak barrels) Intense ruby red in colour. To the nose rich and powerful, ethereal and very complex. Typically characterised by notes of fruit and aromatic herbs, featuring citrus, cherry, wild berry, mint and oregano. On the palate this wine is very structured, with firm and integrated tannins. Pairs well with grilled and roast meats, stewed red meats, game and mature hard cheeses. The wine is best expressed with long bottle aging and generally reaches full maturity after 10-15 years from the harvest and is able to bottle age for more than 30 years. Winery Notes

"Prune, ripe berries, freshly ground black pepper and clove aromas lead the nose on this ripe, muscular wine. The palate delivers black cherry marinated in spirits and juicy plum while accents of nutmeg, tobacco and licorice add depth." - 93 Points,WINE ENTHUSIAST
