La Fonte – Collepopo 2018 – Montefalco Sangrantino

The nose is fruity and offers a small concentration, a certain intensity as well as matter. It reveals notes of roasted black cherry, fairly ripe/crushed blackcurrant and small notes of cornflowers/saffron/lily associated with touches of roasted small red fruits as well as hints of star anise, Cubeb pepper, sweet spices, a subtle hint of olive and a very discreet saline hint. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers juiciness, suavity, minerality, a small fat, tension, a small aerial side as well as a beautiful finesse in its power/richness. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of quite ripe plum, roasted black berries and small notes of crushed / quite ripe raspberry associated with toasted touches, tonka bean as well as hints of olive/black olive, a saline hint and a discreet hint of a sense of place (noble variety / local biotop). Tannins are supple, mellow and rich. Delicacy and minerality.
