Lungarotti Ilbio 2015
Umbria, ItalyIlbio is an organic red made with sagrantino grapes, but outside of the Montefalco DOCG it is known as an Umbria IGT Rosso. The vines are high density over a medium, clay mixture with a light amount of stones. It spends ten months in 30 Hl casks followed by six months in bottle, and the result is sensational. Juicy and vibrant, its silky textures spill across the palate packed full of liquorice, cinnamon, pipe tobacco and delicious vibrant, jammy balsamic fruit. Love the balance and elegance of this rich red, one with ageing potential. A perfect wine for richer mushroom dishes.Tasted: 07 September 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $31.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
