Review Date: 07/2023The 2019 Montefalco Sagrantino is a total pleasure, with its rich blend of crushed cherries complemented by autumnal spice, stone dust and fresh mint hints. The velvety texture flows across the palate yet remains lifted and refined, showcasing ripe wild berry fruits and minerals propelled by juicy acidity. It tapers off lightly structured with a pleasantly bitter tinge, fine tannins framing the experience beautifully. (EG)

Notes
Bocale Sagrantino di Montefalco, Umbria The Sagrantino di Montefalco from Bocale is a bold and powerful expression of Sagrantino, one of Italy's most tannic and age-worthy grape varieties. Sourced from the rolling hills of Montefalco in Umbria, this wine showcases the depth, structure, and richness that the region is known for. Bocale, a family-run estate, is dedicated to sustainable practices, crafting wines that reflect the unique terroir of Montefalco. On the nose, the Bocale Sagrantino di Montefalco presents intense aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and plum, with complex notes of spice, leather, cocoa, and a touch of balsamic. On the palate, it is full-bodied and robust, with firm tannins and vibrant acidity that support flavors of dark fruit, black pepper, and dried herbs. The wine’s tannic structure is balanced by its rich fruit and earthy undertones, leading to a long, persistent finish with hints of tobacco and graphite.
