Immediate aromas of blackberry and mature cherry come at you and are followed closely by spice, cola, dark chocolate and cured meat. This hearty Rosso di Montefalco is no puny wine. Indeed, it offers an impressive quality of fruit and dark, thick structure.

The wine opens with inky, dark concentration and sweet aromas of vanilla, cedar, espresso, hickory and smoked ham from an obviously elaborate oak-aging regime (it sees 12 months of barrique). It offers dusty, palate-drying tannins in the mouth.

Casale Triocco does a nice job with its 2005 Sagrantino di Montefalco but ultimately we like the 2006 Rosso di Montefalco just as much. You’ll get cherry, cola and root beer here backed by sweet spice and firm tannins.

One notch down in aromatic intensity compared to the others, yet unbashful with ripe cherry, prunes and blackberry. More cherry in the mouth and pucker-time tannins. Imported by Supreme Wines & Spirits.

The wine opens with aromas of new rubber but quickly segues to more characteristic aromas of blackberry, exotic spice and darkly brewed tea. It is tight and very tannic in the mouth, with a full palate of fruit and spice flavors.

This is a bold and powerful wine with distinctive green notes that recall dried grass, black pepper and spice. It also has bitter chocolate, cardamom and cumin and its tannins are so strong, they literally leave your palate parched and dry.
