Sagrantino Montefalco DOCG - Casale Triocco

The Sagrantino Montefalco DOCG from Casale Triocco presents a decisive and truthful character: an aromatic profile dominated by ripe black fruits — plum and blackberry — shaded by dark spices and a slight balsamic note. On the nose there is concentration but also clarity, which anticipates a full, vertical sip; the tannins are dense but well defined, providing structure without closing the wine. The impression is of great compactness and cleanliness, with a persistence that invites a moment of slow enjoyment.

On the palate it reveals energy and substance: the body is robust, the tannic framework supports the fruity drive and leaves room for savory echoes and an enveloping warmth. This is a Sagrantino that requires care in service — decanting is useful to open up its aromas — and finds ideal companions in roasted meats, braises and aged cheeses; it also stands up well to intense pairings of traditional cuisine. It should be served at a temperature that is not too warm and accompanied by dishes of similar structure.
