2005 Casale Rialto Montefalco Sagrantino Le Piergolemore |
4/21/2008 - Barbara B wrote: 95 pointsSagrantino Day International (Rome, Piazza Colonna - Sala Angiolillo nella sede de Il Tempo): Anteprima tasting. Sweet/ripe fruit, smooth/powdery tannins; lovely. Outstanding expression of Sagrantino varietal character. Never heard of this producer before. It was the WOTN and the surprise of the night. 95 |

2005 Casale Rialto Montefalco Sagrantino Le Piergolemore |
1/26/2011 - Barbara B wrote: 92 pointsBlack, dense. Clean, earthy, with dark fruits and roasted kernels. High level of rich and powdery tannins, still a little astringent, highish acidity, full bodied, great length and complexity. |

2005 Casale Rialto Montefalco Sagrantino Passitomore |
10/12/2008 - Barbara B wrote: 92 pointsTrip to Montefalco; 10/11/2008-10/12/2008 (Montefalco): Black and dense. Ample, sweet aromas; 60 g/L RS, but acidity is higher than the 2007; the oak has mellowed. Tannins, grape and oak, help balance the sweetness. Big and brawny, yet exquisite. |

4/25/2015 - Barbara B Likes this wine: 94 pointsBlack core, ruby rim, dense. Clean earth and fruit on nose and palate. Subtle oak. Flavour profile equally fruity and savoury. High acidity, high alcohol, high level of grippy/powdery tannins. Rich, full-bodied, long, complex. Love this wine every time. |

Persistent and intense on nose and palate. Big fruitiness imparting sensation of sweetness that will take on the new oak without compromise; big earthiness and minerality too. Lowish acidity, high level of beautiful/ripe tannins. Very long and complex. For release in 2010. To buy. |

2006 Casale Rialto Montefalco Sagrantinomore |
10/12/2008 - Barbara B wrote: NRTrip to Montefalco; 10/11/2008-10/12/2008 (Montefalco): Anteprima from bottle. Fairly ordinary vintage in Montefalco. Dense, purple. In a closed phase for aromatics and flavour. Powerful oak that will mellow; fruit in background. Higher acidity than the others. Difficult to judge its future, but it will likely not be as good as 2005 or 2007. Probably will skip all 2006's from Montefalco. For release in 2009. |

2007 Casale Rialto Montefalco Sagrantino Passitomore |
10/12/2008 - Barbara B wrote: 90 pointsTrip to Montefalco; 10/11/2008-10/12/2008 (Montefalco): Anteprima. Lovely wine. Black and dense. Alcohol at 16%; RS around 60 g/L, but lowish acidity made it seem sweeter. The oak (11 months in barrique) has tempered the wine and given it better balance. |

10/11/2013 - lifeattable Likes this wine: 91 pointsBottle #3 was back up to the standard set by #1. Perhaps some bottle variation here, but worth rolling the dice for $14. Full writeup: http://pavineco.com/?p=2824 |

2009 Casale Rialto Montefalco Sagrantino Passitomore |
9/30/2017 - Euge67 Likes this wine: 89 pointsNon certo per signorine. Passito maschio, pieno di profumi e sapori di legno affumicato e uva passa sotto spirito. Abbinabile ad un bell'arrosto come ad un sigaro. Interessante |
