2016 Tabarrini - Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG Colle alla Macchie (750ml)
94 Points
"Rich plum and cherry sauce mixes with hints of ginger, sweet spice and

dusty rose as the 2016 Montefalco Sagrantino Colle alle Macchie blossoms

in the glass. There’s an energy here that captures the attention; this is silky

in feel yet also surprisingly juicy and spry, with tart cherries giving way to

complementary notes of clove and cinnamon. Of course, this is a young

Sagrantino, and as such, its grippy tannins take control through the finale,

but there’s plenty of residual acids and zesty citrus to keep the expression

quite interesting. That said, the best is truly yet to come. The Colle alle

Macchie is produced from vines growing in clay rich soils and refined for

36 months in French oak, hence the balance of sweet spice, power and

structure.
