Montefalco Rosso Riserva DOC "Lampante" 2022 - Tenuta Castelbuono

A red wine from Tenuta Castelbuono in Umbria, made from Sagrantino. It matures for 18 months in tonneaux and large cask, then refines for a further 12 months in bottle, from selected vineyards near Bevagna. It is suited to red meat dishes and aged cheeses, and traditionally to Faraona alla narnese. The wine is ruby red tending to garnet, with a complex nose of flowers and small red fruits, spice and balsamic notes. The palate is intense and mineral, with a spicy return, good tannic presence that is softening, and a persistent finish.
