Intense nose, still young and dominated by spicy red and black fruit. Dry backbone with juicy black fruit, red cherry, tobacco, sweet spice and lively acidity. Robust. Drink: 2012-2015.Decanter Magazine (Jan 2012)
One of Italy's top values. Layers of dark red fruit, sweet herbs, licorice and new leather come together in this juicy, textured wine. A juicy, enticing red, the Assisi Rosso should continue to drink well for a handful of years. Rating: 89 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.RobertParker.com (Jul 2011)
Sportoletti
Riccardo Cotarella's appointment as oenologist at the Sportoletti estate in Spello, the neighbouring town to Assisi, has taken the quality of winemaking at the estate into the international league. Cotarella’s ability to make excellent Merlot based wines is as evident in both the Assisi Rosso as in the ‘super-Umbrian’ Villa Fidelia Rosso. The twenty hectare estate is made up of a number of small vineyards high in the hills above the towns of Assisi and Spello.
