Fongoli Montefalco Rosso, Umbria, Italy 2019 Chateau La Croix du Casse showing floral and pear notes

showing floral and pear notes with a lively structure

Things get tangy on the palate

and it is also a lot of red berries

and exuding a calmness that only expertise can provide

It has some accessibility today yet will benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age and keep for two decades

Fongoli Montefalco Rosso, Umbria, Italy 2019 Chateau La Croix du Casse showing floral and pear notesThe Bicunsio is a blend of 60% Sangiovese, 25% Montepulciano and 15% Sagrantino, and leads with an entrancing mix of musky red currants, dried citrus peels and hints of sage. Its juicy and wickedly fresh, with a reverberation of bright acidity that sends sparks across the palate, as fleshy red fruits settle in. Zesty and full of life, with a hint of licorice that resonates on the finish.
