Deep red colour with a browning rim. Fine and complex nose with hints of stable, leather and hints of plums. Full-bodied and with decent concentration of fruit. A bit evolved with hints of plums, coffee and a touch stable in the finish. High acids and very tannic end. The tannins too much for the balance. Too bad, as there is nice fruit here.
The Appelation Sagrantino di Montefalco DOC changed name to Montefalco Sagrantino when it was promoted to DOCG in 1992.
