An hugley popular wine amongst our clients and a real 'gem' from Umbria, the Assisi Rosso, is a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, is a delicious wine with flavours of red and black cherries. Bancroft note
''Sportoletti's Assisi Rosso is one of the great values in Italian wine, and the 2008 is another in a long line of gorgeous wines. Ripe red cherries, tobacco, sweet herbs and spices are some of the nuances that emerge from this juicy, plump offering. The 2008 is a touch more lithe than some previous vintages but it is nevertheless outstanding for its overall balance and sense of harmony. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2013.'' 89 points by Antonio Galloni erobertparker.com
"The Assisi Rosso by Sportoletti brothers (Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet blend) embodies the spirit of this Guide. Its constant, high quality is astonishing and, combined with the relatively simple blend, makes it perfect for the categories of customers the Sportoletti winery intends to target. It is an immediate wine having intriguing scents and combining fruity notes with delicate, spice flavors. The mouth is smooth and full, never banal or too heavy." Gambero Rosso
"...Good as always, this sangiovese, merlot, and cabernet sauvignon blend has an incomparable price/quality ratio..."
