A powerful, single-vineyard Sagrantino with extended skin maceration and 36 months of aging in oak botte, built on a backbone of firm tannin and dense, dark fruit. Brooding aromas of red and black plums, bittersweet cocoa, violets, and baking spices lead into a thickly textured, full-bodied palate with plump black fruit, savory spice, and dried herbs; tannins require aging, with a drinking window of 2028–2045

93+ Points
"The 2018 Montefalco Sagrantino Colle Grimaldesco tempts the imagination with a bouquet mixing rich brown spice with crushed ashen stones and dried black cherries. Silky and enveloping, it washes across the palate with textural ripe red and black fruits, medium weight and energetic
grippy tannins mounting toward the close. This finishes dramatically long with cheek-puckering tannins clamping down hard, leaving slowly fading violet inner florals and a wild blueberry tartness. There's a certain magic mix of vintage and house style"
