WINERY: Cantine AdantiCOUNTRY: ItalyREGION: UmbriaAPPELLATION: Montefalco Rosso DOCGRAPE: 70% Sangiovese, 15% Sagrantino, 5% Barbera, 5% Merlot, 5% CabernetWINEMAKER NOTES: The Umbria region, from where this wine hails, is Tuscany's smaller, landlocked, neighbour and here, like its neighbour, Sangiovese is the base for many of the red wines. This Montefalco Rosso is a case in point, being made from 70% Sangiovese, but it also has 15% Sagrantino which is indigenous to Umbria and which adds a touch of lightness to the blend. After fermentation, it's matured for 12 months in large oak barrelsTASTING NOTES: Powerful and complex wine with notes of blackberries, black cherry, chocolate, coffee, herbs and spices. The tannins are bold, but well-balanced and it makes for a well-rounded and welcoming central Italian red.PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: This is a classic Italian red to be paired with dishes like lasagne, Sunday roasts and warming comfort foods in general.
