Colpetrone Montefalco Sagrantino Memoira 2015 Region:Umbria and homespunAs sturdy a Sagrantino as ever there was, with a full decade of age in barrel and bottle. This is a stunning value for a classic Umbrian wine that tastes as if it was carved out of bedrock rather than grown on a vine. Deep dark and stewed berries, fleshy tannins that have evolved into elegance over the years, and a constant earthy substrata that informs the first whiff and the last sip.
