Plani Arche Montefalco Rosso DOC

Those familiar with Montefalco are likely informed due to their experience(s) with a grape called Sagrantino. An historic and delicious grape that stateside, at least, holds two noticeable barriers of entry: the wine's price and its absolutely massive structure. Both issues are pleasantly addressed with the Montefalco Rosso DOC. On its own, Sagrantino needs time for the tannins to incorporate and mellow out a bit. But this wine, primarily Sangiovese with just a splash of Sagrantino, is easier to approach in its youth but is peppered with those decadent, plummy, dark-fruited notes you get in full varietal expressions. Definitely the kind of wine that shines with grilled meat and American barbecue.
