A non-vintaged liter-sized bottling of Sangiovese from the mountainous Umbria region. A rustic red with dusty berry flavors and a distinct note of Italian spices like oregano and cilantro.

Overlooking Lake Trasimeno, on the northernmost cusp of Umbria, this tiny farm is run by Margret and Guido Cantarelli. The hills around this interior lake form one of the most unknown wine zones in Italy; Colli del Trasimeno (DOC). There are only a dozen or fewer producers in the appellation, most of which are growing international varieties. Montemelino’s farm is roughly 10 ha, with less than 4 being under vine.
