Potent, powerful, tannic red that takes time to come into its own. In fact, in Umbria on the slopes of the Apennines Mountain Range in Central Italy, the Sagrantino grape is required by DOCG standards to be aged for at least 37 months in bottle before release. This bottle is steeped in red fruit and wild herbs, with a finish filled with sweet and savory spices. The firm tannins on the wine scream for something fatty to make the wine more palatable, but for me, this continues to be one of my favorite wines with red meat and at a screaming good value to boot.
