Antonelli San Marco Montefalco Sagrantino 2019

A powerful and intensely structured red, the 2019 Sagrantino di Montefalco from Antonelli San Marco is a definitive expression of one of Italy’s most tannic and long-lived varieties. Sourced from organic estate vineyards, this vintage exhibits a deep ruby red color and an expansive bouquet of dark cherries, forest berries, and citrus zest, layered with sophisticated notes of tobacco leaf, leather, and aromatic Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied and robust, showcasing Sagrantino’s hallmark firm tannins which are expertly refined through long aging in large oak casks. A vibrant acidity provides balance to the concentrated dark fruit, leading to a persistent, savory finish with lingering hints of spice and mineral earth.

Attractive nose of chocolate, oranges and bitter cherries with hints of dark cedar and sweet spices. Solid and broad on the palate. Full but polished and refined tannins. Shows good length and balance, with a core of delicious fruit and a chocolatey aftertaste. Better after 2026.
