2016 Montefalco Sagrantino Chiusa di Pannone

Antonelli San Marco is a family-run estate led by Filippo Antonelli, who has been a force to be reckoned with in Montefalco since 1986. All practices are organic across their 75-hectare estate, of which 50 are planted to vine. One of the region's royal families, Antonelli's reputation has been well earned through years of research in the vineyards, a lineage of excellent vintages and Filippo Antonelli’s multiple terms as the head of the Montefalco Consorzio. The style of the wines shines brightly amidst a tasting of Sagrantino. Elegance, beauty and finesse are achieved from a variety more closely associated with power and tannic girth. Readers looking to understand the more ethereal side of Sagrantino should look no further.
