2006 Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG is dedicated to the founder of the winery, Domenico Adanti, and is made from the best selection of grapes, grown exclusively in a vineyards on the hills of Colcimino. Aging for 30 months in oak barrels and 24 months in the bottle gives this bold, structured wine nice and smooth tannins. This opaque wine has an intense ruby red color and garnet hues. The nose is clean, pleasing, refined and elegant with aromas of black cherry, blackberry and plum, followed by violet, tobacco, vanilla, chocolate, leather, and cinnamon. The palate is as lovely as the nose, with velvety tannis, great balance, and a well- rounded full body. The finish is persistent with flavors of blackberry, black cherry and plum. A must try with your next red meat dish!
