Montefalco, Perugia, Umbria, Italy
Popped and poured, consumed over three days. Consistent throughout. The 2007 “Pagliaro” pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core and a slightly watery rim. There appears to be a slight sign of sediment. High viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is high intensity and is absolutely mesmerizing with notes of ripe dark brambly fruit desiccated black cherry, beef broth, exotic spices, blood sausage, pipe tobacco, well oiled leather, red flowers and ferrous minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the fruit and non-fruit characteristics. The finish is medium+. This baby is so grippy! An absolutely stellar bottle of Pagliaro that is strutting right now provided it gets some air and then after that, take your time. This has some real staying power. Drink now and through 2035. Bottle No. 5278/14100.

VA is a little distracting on palate, but a unique wine nonetheless.

A Cult wine not cheap either. Bought it in a Resto/Wineshop in Montefalco. We drank the wine without food, color fantastic deep, nose mindblowing and the taste does this get any better, my best ever.

Delicious, very earthy, paired well with pappardelle cinghale. And was amazing with the short rib pasta.

Needs a couple hours in the decanter. But really strikes a balance between austere and delicious

Yum!! Closed and a bit volatile at first, then with plenty of air it spewed deliciousness. Ripe strawberry, great tension. Soulful! #guntered
