This rare and very special wine, made exclusively from Sagrantino, is harvested late and left to raisin for four months before pressing. As it air dries, a white mold forms that balances and concentrates the acid, sugar and tannins.
Wine Advocate Review
The 2009 Montefalco Sagrantino Passito (375 milliliters) opens to a dark, blackish color with very little light penetration. The bouquet is strangely odd, with a sweet component that goes into direct and immediate contrast with a very savory and leathery component that recalls wet earth and porcini mushrooms. Starting with the sweet side, you feel the fruit ripeness with blackberry confit and baked cinnamon tart. The savory side offers volume, fullness and offbeat aromas of medicinal herb, cola, bacon fat and cured mahogany wood. Drink 2020-2035
