Tenuta Lunelli
Carapace Montefalco Sagrantino
Montefalco, Perugia, Umbria, Italy
2018 tasted Oct 2023. Black licorice and tobacco on the nose. Sour cherries on the front. Light tannic structure that fades a little on the mid palate, but it has a strong long mineral finish. The tasting room manager said this wine will not be really ready to drink for another decade. I sort of doubt it. But I’m not going to buy a bottle to find out. OK but not great.
