“The 2021 Montefalco Rosso is a total pleasure to take in, blending crushed raspberries with sage and cloves. Pine shavings add a lovely lift. It splashes across the palate with an energetic blend of tart cherries and autumnal spice. A core of vibrant acidity adds an abundance of energy throughout. The 2021 puckers the cheeks, leaving edgy tannins and a cranberry tartness that keeps the mouth watering for more. Plani Arche’s Montefalco Rosso is impossible to ignore, blending 60% Sangiovese with 25% Barbera and 15% Sagrantino. This is great on its own, but it would also excel at the dinner table.”
