| 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 |
