"Sweet herbs, dusty black cherries and hints of smoke make the 2020 Montefalco Rosso Vigna Flaminia a total pleasure on the nose. This is silky and elegant in feel, with red- and blue-inflected fruits carried by saline-tinged acidity and balsam herbs that form toward the close. A slightly bitter twang lingers while the mouth is left watering, and hints of black currant slowly fade."
