April 9, 2018 - overall a good one with a good complexity in red fruits and some vanilla but some "green" notes on the nose and in the mouth didn´t allow me to give an higher rate
May 7, 2017 - Taste of chocolate and berries. Aged wonderfully. Much better than previous ratings. Very smooth finish.
February 11, 2016 - Tre Bicchieri (San Francisco): 70% Sangiovese, 15% Sagrantino, 15% Colorino. Moderate minus concentration ruby. Savory with subdued dark fruit, huitlacoche, high tannins, and elevated acid. Satisfying - 8.5-9
September 19, 2014 - Brick red color, translucent. Fantastic aromas of cedar, leather and cocoa as well as purple and red fruit - spiced plum? A little orange peel and barnyard on the nose too. Right up my alley. Medium weight, with still plenty of acidity - grit and tannin come through immediately, hints of sour cherry on the finish that lasts through next week. Another stellar wine from this great producer.
August 5, 2014 - Decanted one hour. The Sagrantino shines through here but in a more approchable way than in a 100% Sag bottling. There's rusticity, bold cherry fruit, earth, etc. Rich and full, but not overwhelmingly so. Better with food. A very good example of the style and ready to drink (but will cellar for a few years).
February 2, 2014 - Pleasant everyday wine.
October 29, 2013 - Review: Perticaia Cantina Winery's 2010 Montefalco Rosso (SRP $18): This is a blend of 70% Sangiovese, 15% Sagrantino, and 15% Colorino. The wine is 100% fermented and aged (12 months) in stainless steel vats to showcase the purity of the fruit. In the glass, the wine displays a brilliant medium-deep garnet color with inviting red berry and purple fruit aromas accented by muted (pretty) floral notes. The aromas carry over to the palate with fresh (and full) fruit flavors on a slender-to-medium frame, good acid balance, mild tannins, ending with a pleasant medium-length finish. The winemaker, Alessandro Meniconi, said this wine would pair wonderfully with pizza. As you can see in the picture below, I followed the winemaker’s advice and was happily satisfied. Overall, this is an affordable red wine for everyday drinking and a region well worth exploring if you’re not familiar with it already. (Other info: held six months in bottle, ABV 13.5%, cork enclosure.) 86 Points.
