The 2019 Montefalco Rosso Riserva Serpullo is gorgeous, with its beguiling bouquet of crushed chalk, dusty violets, white pepper and crushed blackberries. It's deeply textural, silky and supple, with masses of dark red fruits and saline minerals adding a crunchy sensation toward the close. It finishes much like it starts, wonderfully perfumed, with fine tannins tugging as the palate and a tart wild berry concentration slowly fade. Fantastic. ... More details

Winery
Sangiovese/Sagrantino/Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot. From biodynamically farmed, certified-organic, hand-harvested estate fruit. The riserva-level Montefalco Rosso comes from hand-selected bunches from two of the oldest parcels, planted in 1975 and 1986. Fermentation is spontaneous in open-topped wooden vats (tini) without temperature control or sulfur and with daily punchdowns. The wine is aged for a minimum of 3 years in old Slavonian oak botti. It is bottled without fining, filtering or the addition of sulfur. Serpullo is named for a beloved Fongoli vineyard veteran.

Region: Umbria

Umbria in central Italy is one of the country's smallest wine regions, and is often overlooked due to its proximity to Tuscany. However, Umbria specialises in using its stunning Tuscany-esque terroir – all rolling hillsides and lush, green vineyards – to their full potential, and producing stunning wines of character and distinction for extremely reasonable prices. In particular, Umbria is renowned as something of a home of innovative Italian wine making, taking native varietals such as Sangiovese and Grechetto, and blending them with Bordeaux red and white wine grapes in order to produce spectacular aged, blended wines. By taking traditional viticultural practices, and shaking them up a bit, Umbria is quickly discarding its former poor reputation, and proving that it is a wine region to watch and explore.

Country: Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
