Reviews 

Welcome to the black hole of Umbrian red wine where you get to experience a new level of tannic density, but this is also married to extraordinary ripeness. For all this, a surprisingly clean and elegant finish. Very savory. Drink or hold. ~94 James Suckling 

The 2015 Montefalco Rosso Riserva is a generous and radiant wine that offers accessible tones of black fruit, cherry, and savory spice.The blend sees a large element of Sangiovese, and that grape shines bright in this wine, thanks to its elegant tones of wild berry, rose, and pressed violet. ~93+ Wine Advocate
