description

Intense ruby red with hues of garnet (typical of Sagrantino varietal). The bouquet is spicy, there is a scent of cinnamon that doesn't overpower the aroma of red fruit, cherry or black cherry; with aging and refinement in the bottle an aroma of dried prunes will evolve. The palate is very full and persistent, quite tannic with an agreeable touch of bitterness. Ideal with red meat dishes, game and mature cheeses.

 

This opens with aromas reminiscent of stewed plum, dark culinary spice, espresso and a balsamic note. The assertive palate is still tightly wound, offering dried black cherry, raisin, licorice and tobacco set against taut, close-grained tannins. Drink 2020-2028. -Wine Spectator
