Montefalco Sagrantino, Collenottolo, Bellafonte - 2015

Dark in colour but without excess, this great wine has a smoky, liquorice and eucalyptus nose. The attack is velvety, with a refinement of texture that is unusual for a Sagrantino, with its wonderfully refined flesh. The wine is long, powerful, with a solar but saline allongevity, very racy. It can be enjoyed decanted for an hour, but will age for 15 years or more. Wine Advocate : 92/100 ; James Suckling : 90/100

Domain
Tenuta Bellafonte is located in the heart of the primitive part of the region, a stone's throw from the towns of Bevagna and Assisi. It was founded in the mid-2000s by Peter Heilbron, an international executive with a passion for great wines, who decided to convert to a new career, taking his friend the late Gianfranco Soldera of the legendary Case Basse as his model. He fell in love with this terroir and decided to try to tame the Sagrantino grape variety, which is very generous in colour, tannins and alcohol, in order to create a great red wine that is refined and capable of aging gracefully. But his talent does not stop there, as he now produces a range of wines that shines with its accuracy and its fidelity to the local terroir, full of character.
