👁 In the Glass:
Deep garnet with ruby flashes—intense and concentrated, with the depth expected of Sagrantino.

👃 On the Nose:
Refined and complex, opening with aromas of red fruits and cherry jam, followed by layers of sweet spices—clove, cinnamon—and an elegant graphite minerality that brings lift and poise.

👅 On the Palate:
Powerful yet polished, with Sagrantino’s signature structure smoothed by soft, ripe tannins. Bursting with dark cherry, red plum, and spice, all held together by vibrant acidity. The finish is long, savoury, and distinctly mineral.

Perfect with roasted or grilled meats—think lamb, venison, or wild boar. Also excellent with mature cheeses like Pecorino or aged Parmigiano Reggiano.
