The 2019 Montefalco Rosso Riserva Serpullo is gorgeous, with its beguiling bouquet of crushed chalk, dusty violets, white pepper and crushed blackberries. It's deeply textural, silky and supple, with masses of dark red fruits and saline minerals adding a crunchy sensation toward the close. It finishes much like it starts, wonderfully perfumed, with fine tannins tugging as the palate and a tart wild berry concentration slowly fade. Fantastic. ... More details

Winery
Sangiovese/Sagrantino/Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot. From biodynamically farmed, certified-organic, hand-harvested estate fruit. The riserva-level Montefalco Rosso comes from hand-selected bunches from two of the oldest parcels, planted in 1975 and 1986. Fermentation is spontaneous in open-topped wooden vats (tini) without temperature control or sulfur and with daily punchdowns. The wine is aged for a minimum of 3 years in old Slavonian oak botti. It is bottled without fining, filtering or the addition of sulfur. Serpullo is named for a beloved Fongoli vineyard veteran.

Region: Umbria

Despite being one of Italy's smallest wine regions, the central Italian region of Umbria is a vitally important one, and home to many of the country's finest and most historic wines and wineries. The reputation of Umbrian wines may have suffered in the 1970s, along with the produce of much of the rest of the country, but the 1980s and 1990s saw significant efforts made by vintners when it came to improving their produce and overall image. By consulting international oenologists, the wineries of Umbria were able to update their traditional techniques, and produce considerably finer wines from their Sangiovese grapes, as well as from imported varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. Indeed, the barrel fermented white wines of Umbria, now made with a blend of Chardonnay and Grechetto varietal grapes, has gone on to be something of a flagship product for the region, and is regarded as one of the best and most characterful white wines in Italy.

Country: Italy

It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.
