Tasting from 23.05.2025: Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler
Bright straw yellow with flint reflections. Initially fine stony notes on the nose, then crisp yellow fruit, some citrus, inviting. Slightly perceptible alcohol on the palate, well-integrated acidity, juicy, drinks very well.

Tasting from 23.05.2025: Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler
Dark, bright ruby red. Aromas of wet wood, dark chocolate, some rum steeped fruit, plum and sealing wax on the nose. Juicy on the palate, with a beautiful core and savouriness, comes slowly but decisively from the glass, does not appear tired, good persistence.

Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG 2020 – 92 Points

Tasting from 23.05.2025: Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler
Deep dark ruby. Very ripe nose of walnut, prune, molasses and dark chocolate. On the palate, a noble use of wood, sweet fruit and polished tannins. Already drinking well.

Montefalco Sagrantino Ma.Gia. DOCG 2020 - 91 Points

Tasting from 23.05.2025: Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler
Deep, dark ruby red. Aromas of molasses, precious wood and earthy tones on the nose, the fruit remaining somewhat in the background. Lots of tannins on the palate with subtle, shy fruit and good, appealing acidity. But a little tough overall.
