TCD Score: 89/100
89 Points for a top blended Umbrian wine utilizing traditional Umbrian grapes and International varieties, very interesting and very tasty. A star buy.
Four stars year considered very good. July and August were hot but without extreme temperature peaks so the grapes ripened gradually and evenly. The lack of rain during the ripening period resulted in very healthy grapes which had ripened quite early and consequent decrease in quantity
All around situation wine to be used also as high quality wine. Very good price MORE INFO

TCD Opinion
Five stars year considered excellent. The winter was quite cold, particularly the minimum temperatures, while the mild, well-balanced spring weather allowed good foliage development. This year, like the last three years, this phenological phase was slightly delayed. Fruit setting and flowering took place normally thanks to steady high temperatures. July and August were warm without peaks of heat so the grapes ripened gradually and steadily although they were slightly behind at the time of harvesting. Like 2005 there was plenty of rain enabling the plants to avoid stress due to lack of water in summer. The grapes ripened healthily without damage from the rain in August. The Sauvignon harvest began in late August when the grapes were healthy and rich in aromas. The Chardonnay harvest began in the third week of August when the grapes showed perfect balance of sugars and polyphenolic substances.
Balanced, elegant with a refined taste. The balance between quality and price is definitely assured. MORE INFO

Four star Umbrian vintage considered very good, this Sagrantino is right up there with the very best, but under €20 and bargainous!

TCD Opinion
A thinner Montefalco than expected, 2001 is more feminine that the powerful and super tannic 2000's. A good introduction to the world of Sagrantino or for those who prefer a gentler attack.
2001 was a great year for Sagrantino. This 2001 is less tannic than some other producers so is suited to early drinking and works for fans of a less heavy Sagrantino.... MORE INFO
Great acidity in this Chardonnay, the blend produces a full bodied wine with a lingering and fresh finish.
Colour
Its colour is greenish yellow, and it also reflects how young it is but with a glittering, gold reflex and it is astonishingly clear.

TCD Opinion
A 4 star vintage in Umbria the 2001 Sagrantino Collepiano is a noteable wine at a very fair price, capable of cellaring, a wise case buy considering the explosion in interest in Umbrian wine.
The 2001 Sagrantino-based wines of the estate are notably different than those of the powerhouse 2000 vintage, probably the best in the history of the property, even if... MORE INFO
TCD Score: 91/100
91 Points for one of the best ever Collepiano's. 2001 was a super year this could age well for 20 years.
