2001 | Falesco | Umbria Marciliano

Wonderful aromas of blackberries, licorice and berries. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a medium finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2001 Marciliano, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, is dazzlingly good in this exceptionally fine vintage for Italy with its powerful and focused aromas of cassis and blackberries, minerals and Mediterranean herbs, its dense, packed palate of superb structure and balance, and a noble austerity and complexity which should guarantee another 20 years of life.

• Wine Spectator: Wonderful aromas of blackberries, licorice and berries. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a medium finish. A bit austere now but should turn around. Cabernet and Cabernet Franc. The sister of Montiano.
