Montefalco Rosso Riserva DOC
Embodies the bolder spirit of its little brother Montefalco Rosso, with a similar composition of Sangiovese, Sagrantino, and Merlot. The special vineyard sites and location for this wine rival the textural and body characteristics of even the best Brunello di Montalcino.
The oldest historical selection of the estate vineyard Monte della Torre. 25 to 30 year old vines. Limestone and clay soils. South & South-West exposure.

Tertiary aromas blend with chocolate, black and red fruit jam and sweet spice perceptions. The long ageing shows an ample texture of balsamic wood facets, notes of incense and toasted components that merge into a lush and elegant texture.

"Blueberries, dried herbs, walnuts and tea leaves on the nose of this savory red. It’s full-bodied with sturdy but fine-grained tannins that turn creamy at the end."
