Collepiano, Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG – 2011 – 93 points – Wine Spectator Insider
"There’s good cut to this structured red, with pure notes of raspberry coulis and dried cherry wrapped around burly tannins. Accents of licorice, mocha and tar ring out on the lasting, grippy finish. Decant this well in advance or hold in the cellar."

Collepiano, Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG – 2011 – 92 points – jamessuckling.com
“Attractive dried berry, cedar and sandalwood aromas and flavors follow through to a medium to full body, firm and chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. This is real Sagrantino.”

Collepiano, Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG – 2011 – 91+ points – Vinous
“Bright ruby. Aromas of blackberry, licorice, dried flowers and spices are complicated by peppery herbs … nicely stuffed with energetic, clean fruit in the middle and a saline nuance on the long back end...”
