NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Còlpetrone Montefalco Rosso pours into the glass with a rich, deep ruby color, hinting at its intensity.The aroma is a lavish fusion of dark fruits like black cherries and plums, complemented by spicy notes of black pepper and a hint of tobacco, a nod to its aging in oak. On the palate, the wine reveals its layers of complexity. It offers a robust structure and velvety texture, with flavors of ripe dark berries, subtle earthy undertones, and a touch of vanilla. The tannins are well-integrated and smooth, making the wine both powerful and approachable. The finish is long and satisfying, with a persistent aftertaste that echoes its rich profile.
