"Intense ruby red color with purple hints. Ample fruit nose of raspberries with hints of spices and vanilla. On the palate it is full bodied and structured with tannins that complement the wine's roundness and a long flavorful finish." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"I like the bright pomegranate, cranberry and fresh-herb character on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied with well-integrated tannins and a clean, flavorful finish. Surprising freshness considering its age. All in place and nice to drink now." —James Suckling "The Còlpetrone 2016 Montefalco Rosso is a blend of 70% Sangiovese, 15% Sagrantino and 15% Merlot from a warm and classic vintage. This wine shows a lot of dark cherry and plum, but the fruit remains dry, lively and bright throughout. The acidic Sangiovese grape does a great job against the more tannic Sagrantino and softer Merlot components of the blend. About 90,000 bottles were rolled out." —Wine Advocate |
