The 2006 Sagrantino di Montefalco Gold is a selection taken from two of the estate's most important vineyards that spends 12 months in French oak barrels. It is another big wine imbued with dark red fruit, smoke, licorice and spices. Juniper berries and leather follow, adding greater nuance and depth. This is an especially dark, sumptuous Sagrantino with tons of depth and harmony. Both bottles I tasted were superb. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027.
Colpetrone makes some of the most concentrated Sagrantinos readers will come across. The Rosso and Passito are generally less consistently outstanding, which I found to be the case this year.
