"Black cherries, sage, leather, tobacco and ashy soil notes all come together to form an earthy yet incredibly alluring display on the 2015 Fongoli Serpullo Montefalco Rosso Riserva. On the palate, velvety textures usher in an intense wave of tart raspberry strewn with minerals and fine tannins that collect on the senses, as brisk acids maintain balance. The finish is long and perfumed, resonating on savory herbaceous and peppery notes, with structural heft that clenches down on its residual sensations of fruit. This blends if 60% Sangiovese, 20% Sagrantino, 10% Cabernet and 10% Merlot, farmed biodynamically, fermented with ambient yeasts and refined in large Siavonian oak. It's really quite unique, almost like tasting a basket of flowers, yet it keeps you coming back over and over for another intriguing sip."
