2006 Milziade Antano Montefalco Sagrantino Colleallodole

BY IAN D’AGATA | SEPTEMBER 26, 2016

Located near Bevagna, Milziade
Antano is one of the three or four best producers of Montefalco Sagrantino
wines today, with a long history of producing one great Sagrantino after
another. Talented Francesco Milziade runs this small family-run winery in the
Fattoria Colleallodole (the farm of the “hill of the larks”), establishing a
reputation for Montefalco Sagrantinos that are powerful, rich and deep, but unusually
well balanced, far removed from the many brutally tannic Montefalco behemoths
that rarely offer a pleasurable drinking experience.<img alt="" src="https://allgrapes.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads%2F1474736969183-colleallodole+new+2+copy+2.JPG"> 



















The 2006 Montefalco Sagrantino Colleallodole is a luminous ruby-red,
offering aromas and flavors of bright red cherry, dark plum, and sweet spices,
plus a hint of menthol. Rich and luscious on entry, then firmer and almost
austere in the middle, but showcasing fairly polished tannins and a sweet
balsamic nuance on the long ripe finish. A knockout Sagrantino. At ten
years after the vintage the 2006 has entered its optimal drinking window, but
will last in a good cellar, another decade or more. 93/Drinking Window: 2016-2026.
