Boccatone: The Expressive and Powerful Soul of Montefalco
Montefalco Rosso “Boccatone” by Tabarrini is an intense, powerful red wine of extraordinary depth, representing the local appellation with unmatched energy. This masterpiece stems from a clever and original blend of three distinct grape varieties: the elegant backbone of Sangiovese, the vibrant freshness of Barbera, and the monumental, structural power of Sagrantino. This perfect synergy is further elevated through a patient maturation of 18 months in a combination of large oak casks and barriques, a process that beautifully refines the tannins while respecting the purity of the fruit.
The olfactory profile is an enveloping journey into the most authentic scents of the Umbrian terroir. The bouquet unfolds with rich tones of ripe red fruit, warm spices, and underbrush notes, beautifully layered with complex and intriguing hints of licorice, rhubarb, and earthy roots.
On the palate, Boccatone reveals its impressive pedigree: the sip is full-bodied, rich, and beautifully structured. The warm, commanding entry is perfectly supported by a fine yet assertive tannic weave that gives the wine exceptional length, balance, and brilliant aging potential. This is a Gastronomic red of great stature, making it the ultimate companion for rich, savory dishes such as roasted red meats, wild game, hearty stews, and aged hard cheeses.
