Honey, peach nectar and apricot best describe this luminous Trebbiano from Central Italy. The wine boasts mature notes of yellow fruit and thick density in the mouth that makes it a natural companion to pasta and white meat.

Novelli’s Sagrantino is a delicate expression of the naturally spicy grape that prizes smaller berry fruit and floral aromas with some shadings of thick cherry, cola, spice and almond. The nose is definitely perfumed and sweet-smelling and recalls almond blossoms or almond paste. It’s smooth and supple in the mouth with tight tannins on the tail end.

Montefalco Rosso is the less austere cousin of Sagrantino di Montefalco and although this blend of Sangiovese, Sagrantino and Cabernet Sauvignon offers all kinds of spice, cherry notes and firm tannins, it is too masked by heavy oak tones. The wine exhibits aromas that recall burnt wood or toast, making those oak tones too sharp and obvious to score higher.

Cedar, exotic spice, nutmeg and cinnamon are backed by vibrant red fruit and a touch of red apple that adds a direct, almost-pungent character to this hearty red wine. It has those gritty, tight tannins that are always associated with Sagrantino, a grape native to Umbria, and would pair well with succulent cuts of beef.
