Carapace Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG 2019 750ml

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2019

Decanter 97 Points | A captivating perfume of dark cherry and berry fruit with smatterings of minty herbs propped up by a spine of capacious oak. Complex and weighty with absorbing tannins and a tremor of mouth-watering acidity. Outstanding.

Winemaker Description 

A deep, luminous ruby red in colour; concentrated and refined. The nose is a triumph of blackberry jam and blueberries–typical of the variety–with attractive and intense notes of cherries in brandy, carob and rose petals. Its traditionally-styled profile is further enhanced by liquorice and chocolate notes. This wine has a distinct creaminess on the palate, along with very powerful, mellow fruit. The finish is long and persistent, with precisely defined tannins of rare finesse, elegance and gentleness.
