Intensives Strohgelb mit grünen Reflexen, duftet anhaltend nach Apfel und zarten floralen Noten. Im Geschmack sehr fein und delikat. Die harmonische Säure lässt "Anima" angenehm frisch und leicht wirken. (superiore.de)

"Anima" ist ein typisch umbrischer Roter aus den einheimischen Sorten Sangiovese und Canaiolo. Stolz, aufrichtig, klar und sauber bietet er mit seinen Aromen und den charakteristischen, fruchtigen Noten eine angenehme Bodenständigkeit. (superiore.de)

Tiefe violett-rote Farbe, im Bouquet Nuancen von Wacholderbeeren, Teer, Rauch und Lakritz. Der Montefalco Rosso Riserva bietet viel Saftigkeit und bringt eine attraktive Kombination von Eleganz und Struktur, Reichtum in den Aromen und poliertem Tannin mit. (superiore.de)

"The nose shows lots of mocha, brambleberries, plums, spice box, cloves, cinnamon and a hint of orange rind. A full but very well-structured palate with beautiful acidity, tannins that are polished but don't hold back and a long finish." James Suckling

Duft nach angetrockneten schwarzen Beeren mit nussigen Tönen, etwas Teer, Tabak, Kandis, dunkles Karamell und leichte Holznote. Kräftig im Mund, reife, wieder teils getrocknet wirkende Frucht mit ein wenig kakaowürzigen Holzaromen, leicht kompottig am Gaumen, dicht und nachhaltig, wärmender Alkohol, präsentes, überwiegend mürbes Tannin, etwas Teer, dahinter Tabak und Kräuter. Wunderbarer, teils salziger Abgang. (superiore.de)

"Bright ruby. Aromas of blackberry, licorice, dried flowers and spices are complicated by peppery herbs. Brooding and rather closed on entry, but nicely stuffed with energetic, clean fruit in the middle and a saline nuance on the long back end. The broad finish features youthfully chewy tannins that coat the palate but are typically nowhere near as astringent as those of most other Sagrantino wines." Ian d'Agata

"There's good cut to this structured red, with pure notes of raspberry coulis and dried cherry wrapped around burly tannins. Accents of licorice, mocha and tar ring out on the lasting, grippy finish. Decant this well in advance or hold in the cellar." Wine Spectator

"Attractive dried berry, cedar and sandalwood aromas and flavors follow through to a medium to full body, firm and chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. This is real Sagrantino." James Suckling

Im Sagrantino di Montefalco 25 Anni multiplizieren sich alle Elemente eines guten Tropfens exponentiell: raumfüllende Aromen von süßen Beeren, perfekt integrierte Holztöne, am Gaumen ein Füllhorn von reifen Früchten, kraftvoll und sinnlich. Ein Wein, der unglaubliches Vergnügen bereitet. (superiore.de)

"A rich note of sun-dried black cherry shines through in this finely knit, full-bodied red, layered with dense, satiny tannins and accents of dried fig, spice box, savory olive, smoke and loamy earth that echo on the chewy finish." Wine Spaectator

"Enticing and earthy, this opens with compelling aromas of truffle, tobacco, black-skinned fruit, menthol and a whiff of blue flower. The palate is both structured and elegant, delivering dried morello cherry, prune and pipe tobacco framed in taut fine-grained tannins that give it a firm velvety texture. It's still tightly wound and needs time." Wine Enthusiast

"The nose is ripe but very attractive from the outset with notes of iodine, oyster shell, bark, forest floor, blackberries, dark chocolate, plenty of herbs and coffee beans. The palate's really explosive yet polished, showing moath-coating tannins, layers of dark fruit, fine acidity and a long, boastful finish." James Suckling

Tiefe violett-rote Farbe, im Bouquet Nuancen von Wacholderbeeren, Teer, Rauch und Lakritz. Der 2010er Montefalco Rosso Riserva bietet viel Saftigkeit und bringt eine attraktive Kombination von Eleganz und Struktur, Reichtum in den Aromen und poliertem Tannin mit. (superiore.de)

"The 2010 Montefalco Rosso Riserva is an excellent wine that delivers both power and grace. This achievement should not go underestimated. It is easy for Montefalco Rosso (a blend of Sagrantino and Sangiovese) to show muscle, brawn and enormous structure, because those qualities come in abundance - especially with Sangrantino. It is far more difficult to deliver harmony and this wine does exactly that. Dark fruit nuances are followed by spice, barbecue smoke and black licorice." Robert Parker

"Aufsehenerregend auch der Zweitwein, der Sagrantino Collepiano." Gambero Rosso

"Polished and spicy, this structured wine features aromas of leather, truffle, blackberry and savory herb. The juicy palate delivers layers of fleshy black plum, black cherry, freshly ground peppercorn, tobacco and thyme alongside big, velvety tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2009 Montefalco Sagrantino Collepiano offers a modern interpretation of a traditional wine once made by monks. The extra oak intensity leads to soft tones of chocolate, dark cherry and spice." Robert Parker
