Black fruit spice tar and cured tobacco open the bouquet of the 2015 Montefalco Sagrantino Valdimaggio. You also get slightly more mature aromas of rum cake or cherry liqueur from this warm and sunny vintage. This is a complete and generous wine that shows tight tannins at the back. Despite that evident muscle and brawn the tannins are carefully managed so that they don't taste bitter or astringent. In fact quite the opposite.
Though tightly knit and well-defined by sculpted tannins this fresh red shows overall elegance featuring a lovely fragrant range of plumped cherry and strawberry fruit with star anise graphite and cardamom notes ashy smoke accents and hints of dried mint and marjoram. Creamy finish. Drink now through 2030.
