Tabarrini Sagrantino di Montefalco Campo Alla Cerqua DOCG 2015

The 2015 Montefalco Sagrantino Campo alla Cerqua captivates as spicy tangerine gives way to bright cherries, cloves and rubbed sage. This silky, elegant expression impresses further with a pure and lifted display of ripe red berries and inner herbal tones. It’s zesty and full of energy, even as grippy tannins take hold through the finale, with inner rose and violet florals that resonate over a tart twang of sour blackberry. The Campo alla Cerqua could be enjoyed today if paired with a rich and hearty meal, but a few years of cellaring will help it to show its best.
