Introduction:
The 2020 Azienda Agraria Perticaia Montefalco Rosso is a structured yet approachable Umbrian red blend that highlights the balance of fruit, spice, and earthiness characteristic of the Montefalco region. With its deep concentration, firm tannins, and bright acidity, this wine is a fantastic introduction to the power and elegance of Montefalco’s terroir.

Terrior:
Sourced from the rolling hills of Montefalco in Umbria, the vineyards are planted in clay-limestone soils, which contribute to the wine’s structure and minerality. The region’s warm days and cool nights allow for slow ripening, enhancing aromatic complexity while preserving acidity.

Appearance:
Deep ruby red with garnet reflections, showcasing richness and vibrancy.

Nose:
Expressive and layered, with aromas of ripe red cherries, plums, and blackberries, complemented by notes of dried herbs, leather, and sweet spice. Subtle hints of earth, tobacco, and black pepper add further depth.

Palate:
Medium to full-bodied with firm yet refined tannins. Juicy dark fruit flavors are balanced by fresh acidity, while secondary notes of licorice, cocoa, and balsamic provide complexity. The Sangiovese’s bright fruit and acidity contrast beautifully with the deeper, more structured character of Sagrantino.

Finish:
Long and persistent, with lingering red fruit, spice, and a touch of earthy minerality.

Overall Impression:
A beautifully balanced Montefalco Rosso that combines the vibrancy of Sangiovese with the power of Sagrantino. This wine is perfect for pairing with roasted meats, game, pasta with rich tomato-based sauces, or aged Pecorino cheese. While enjoyable now, it will continue to develop over the next 5–8 years.
