Tenuta Bellafonte Montefalco Sagrantino “Collenottolo” DOCG 2010 Wine Enthusiast 01/02/2015 94
Verbiage

“Forest floor, ripe black fruit, truffle, leather and balsamic aromas open this bold, concentrated wine. The delicious palate offers layers of blackberry, spicy plum, black pepper, cassis and savory herb alongside big, velvety tannins. It has balance and depth but it’s still young and needs time to develop complexity. Drink 2018–2030.” – Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Feb. 2015

The concentrated palate delivers ripe black cherry, dried plum, clove, leather and licorice alongside solid tannins and the warmth of alcohol.” – Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Feb. 2015
