Barely 250 acres of Sagrantino vineyards exist in the Umbria
region. A deep, dark and tannic grape, Sagrantino is exceptionally
rich and is considerably more tannic and robust than Sangiovese. However,
the tannins are sweet rather than sharp, which makes Sagrantino very
drinkable when it’s young while also offering incredible aging
potential. In the vineyards of Montefalco, Sagrantino grows into a
burly, brambly red with aromas ranging from blackberry jam to pine
tar – the overall effect being a contrast of savory and sweet
flavors wrapped in a powerful package.
