Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG "Carapace Lunga Attesa" 2018 - Tenuta Castelbuono

A red wine from Umbria, made from selected Sagrantino grapes from a single vineyard. The grapes are vinified in three styles: stainless steel, truncated-conical wooden vats and terracotta. The three wines are then blended and aged in wood for at least three years, followed by further bottle ageing. It is dark ruby in colour. The nose brings blackberry jam, plum, dark chocolate and coffee, followed by talc and tobacco notes. On the palate it is enveloping, warm, structured and intense, with present but well-calibrated tannins and a long finish.
