A powerful and complex expression of 100% Sagrantino, this iconic wine reveals itself with intense aromas of underbrush and black fruit, promising a tannic yet elegant sip, reflecting its long aging process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A wine with great personality and a balance certainly sustained by the cooler, rainy vintage that, however, at these altitudes, did not cause major problems. Dense and penetrating with notes of dried leaves, humus and tobacco preceding those of paprika, blood orange, currants and a floral touch. Incense on the finish. Tannin and acidity chase each other on the palate. Tannin as it should be: present and firm but ripe. A harmonious and elegant wine thanks above all to a perfect definition of the individual elements: a drawn tannin, never aggressive, a well-dosed freshness and a frank combination of aromas that make it sober in its complexity. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The wine poured into the glass excites me first of all for its elegant and unshouted olfactory framework where, with aristocratic complexity, one smells fragrant flashes of black cherry, green underbrush, humus, cigar box, incense, black pepper, eucalyptus and cocoa. On the palate the real surprise because one immediately grasps the solidity and harmonic homogeneity of the tannic and alcoholic scaffolding, the gritty tone and the vigorous but, vivadiously, at the same time elegant body. It is a red of great stuff, noble, elite, indulging without ever stewing the palate with tannic and alcoholic masses of unseemly texture. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
