Montefalco DOC

Montefalco DOC is a red and white wine appellation in the heart of Umbria in central Italy. Once considered the baby brother to Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG, its red wine blends produced primarily from Sangiovese are now highly credible in their own right and worthy of investigation, especially riserva versions. White wines are also made from Grechetto and Trebbiano Spoletino.

Montefalco DOC Grechetto di Todi
Cantina Fratelli Pardi, Umbria, Italy
2021
Grechetto di Todi (100%)
“Not particularly expressive on the nose, although there are subtle notes of citrus and herb. Attractive mouth feel, with apple and pear dominating. There is some movement toward peach on the mid palate, before finishing with a pleasant dry note of yellow fruit. Well balanced, well made. Drink soon.”

Moretti Omero, Umbria, Italy

“Ripe and concentrated on the nose. Explosive berry and forest fruit notes, revealing dry earth and hedgerow with time. Little touch of sweet spice. Brawny texture, but nicely integrated fruit, acidity and alcohol. Fairly smooth on the finish. Impressively distintive.”
91 Paul Caputo
