Here are our wines examined by the jury of Wine Enthusiast:
Montioni Montefalco Sagrantino 2016 D.O.C.G. – score 92/100
“Aromas of stewed prunes, blue flowers and exotic spices lead the way along with whiffs of underbrush. The full-bodied palate doles out baked plum, steeped cherry, licorice and mocha before a sage finish. Close-grained tannins lend firm support. Drink 2022–2036.”
Montioni Montefalco Rosso D.O.C.– score 92/100
“Baked plum, coconut, toast, vanilla, nail polish and resin aromas mingle together on this brawny red. The solid palate shows French oak, roasted coffee bean and stewed prune alongside grainy tannins. You’ll also notice the heat of evident alcohol. Give the tannins another year or two to soften, then enjoy in time to capture the remaining fruit.”
Montioni Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG 2020– score 91/100
“Dark, warm berry compote meets the savory edge of iron, tobacco, and pencil lead, creating a bold introduction. Black cherry flavors intertwine with hints of licorice and star anise, delivering richness with every sip. The chewy yet pleasant tannins demand hearty fare—think braised short ribs or wild boar ragu. Drink Now – 2035”
Montefalco Sagrantino Ma.Gia. D.O.C.G. 2020– score 91/100
“Shy at first, this wine reveals notes of dried thyme, cinnamon, and nutmeg as it breathes, alongside concentrated black cherry and bitter cocoa wrapped in the scent of freshly rolled cigars. Brooding and dark, the flavors expand with firm tannins and a wave of candied black plum, vanilla, and allspice. Decadent and undeniably lush. Drink Now – 2035”

“Wild cherries burst out of the glass with a vibrant and almost electric lift, carrying with them the memory of a summer walk through pine forest and balsam—wild and alive in the very best way.
