Arnaldo Caprai 25 Anni Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG

Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG, Italy
The benchmark Sagrantino — 25 Anni ('25 Years') riserva from the estate's finest parcels. Intensely concentrated: dark plum, blackberry, bitter chocolate, leather, tar, and the highest tannin of any Italian variety. Requires 10–15 years minimum for full expression.
complement
Sagrantino's power demands equally powerful game; bitter chocolate in both the dish and wine creates deep harmony.

complement
Sagrantino's bitter chocolate notes and the torte share the same dark intensity; espresso deepens the connection.
classic dessert
complement
Lamb's richness handles Sagrantino's tannins; black olives echo the wine's bitter character; polenta grounds both.

complement
The most tannic Italian wine needs the most flavourful cheese — aged Pecorino buried in travertine has the intensity to match.
