Sportoletti "Villa Fidelia" Rosso, Umbria 1999

Saturated purple/red.

Vinturi - moderate intensity, low-toned nose - toast, deep, spicy black fruit (fig, date, black raspberry coulis).

Suave, mouth-filling. Just enough vitality. Deep and rich with building acid/tannin synergy that does not shut down the mouth. PFG and likely to drink well for many more years.

$50 on release? Merlot and Cabernet? Can't remember.
