2000 Montefalco Sagrantino Collepiano

The 2000 Montefalco Sagrantino Collepiano is, in theory, the regular bottling, but the wine makes a joke of the term. A deep ruby red, intense, penetrating, and expansive on the nose with potent raspberry/ red currant fruit, richly spiced by the oak, its deep, concentrated, and powerful flavors, almost chewy in their richness but velvety in their texture, give an exceptional continuity and length..
