Montefalco Sagrantino, Collenottolo, Bellafonte - 2015

Provenance: Umbria
Appellation: Montefalco Sagrantino
Domain: Tenuta Bellafonte
Grape variety(ies): Sagrantino
On-call time: 20 years
Alcohol degree: 15.5%

Dark in colour but without excess, this great wine has a smoky, liquorice and eucalyptus nose. The attack is velvety, with a refinement of texture that is unusual for a Sagrantino, with its wonderfully refined flesh. The wine is long, powerful, with a solar but saline allongevity, very racy. It can be enjoyed decanted for an hour, but will age for 15 years or more. Wine Advocate : 92/100, James Suckling : 90/100
