"Elegance, beauty and finesse are achieved from a variety more closely associated with power and tannic girth. Readers looking to understand the more ethereal side of Sagrantino should look no further." - CHAMBERS & CHAMBERS, IMPORTER

"There’s a minty freshness to the 2017 Montefalco Sagrantino; also, dried flowers and nuanced hints of wild strawberry fill the glass. It washes across the palate with ease, silky and buoyant, as mineral-tinged red fruits slowly saturate, and balsam herbs come forward toward the close. While tannic and with a bitter crunch, the 2017 leaves the senses refreshed, making this already approachable today, but also with medium-term cellaring potential." - Eric Guido, VINOUS MEDIA
