The 2007 Montefalco Rosso is a soft, fragrant offering that flows onto the palate with layers of silky red fruits, showing terrific purity as well as polish, particularly at this level. Ripe, candied notes make an appearance on the finish. This is a highly enjoyable, accessible red to enjoy over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012.
Fongoli is an excellent source for delicious, reasonably-priced wines from Umbria.
