Production
100% Sagrantino, this is powerful, very bold, juicy and bright. This wine sees extended maceration, with a full month on skins, this means it is intensely full bodied, but this length of time allows for a very smooth mouthfeel. Fermentation in large, old, French oak vats and 50% barrel ageing (15% new) is just what this wine needs, oxygen is the wine’s friend as it helps to tame the powerful structure.
Tasting notes
2015 was a fantastic vintage, allowing for full tannin and flavour development. This is a hulking brute, but one that could perform a triple-salchow.
Food match
Though we don’t insist on anything, you can drink how you like, we strongly advise a hearty meal with this one! A strong mature cheese would be a good go-to.
