MONTEFALCO MASTERPIECE   The 2009 is now in stock and it is as good as the 2009.

 

            We've just stumbled upon one of the most exciting wines we've tasted all year: 2008(2009) Cantina Fratelli Pardi Montefalco Rosso (Umbria, $20.99). Sangiovese is produced in Umbria of such quality that rivals, and in many cases exceeds, that in Tuscany, but around the tiny town of Montefalco, there is produced wine from the legendary Sangrantino grape that is utterly monumental. Grown nowhere else in the world, this grape is produced in such minute quantities few wine lovers have even heard of it. It produces one of the most tannic wines in the world, dark and brooding like an enormous Barolo. It is undoubtedly one of Italy's best kept wine secrets.

 

            The Cantina Fratelli Pardi has been making wine for almost 100 years and produces a fabulous (and expensive) 100% Sagrantino, but they also bottle a Rosso blend of Sangiovese and Sagrantino, with a dollop of Cabernet Sauvignon, that is absolutely thrilling and delicious. This wine delivers explosive aromatics and a big load of ripe and spicy fruit in a softly textured, easy-going, wine that delivers an unbelievable measure of pure enjoyment for its very modest price.
