The 2007 Sagrantino di Montefalco is a very simple, run of the mill wine. The firm Sagrantino tannins have been tamed, but unfortunately all of the other qualities of this indigenous red grape have been eviscerated as well. This wine not only fails to live up to the Lungarotti name, it also does inestimable damage to every quality minded grower who is struggling to put Montefalco on the map. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017.
With few exceptions, this is a fairly pedestrian showing from one of Umbria's historic estates. It's hard not to think Lungarotti should be operating at a far higher level across the board.
