About this product
The wine that established Sagrantino di Montefalco's international reputation — produced from the finest estate parcels and aged 30 months in French oak followed by 2+ years in bottle before release. Near-opaque garnet with a complex nose of dried blackberry, tar, leather, tobacco, and iron ore. The palate is formidable: massive tannin structure, full body, and dark fruit concentration of extraordinary depth. A wine for the patient — demands 10–15 years from a good vintage.

Central Italy's finest beef breed with its finest red wine — the braise's collagen richness slowly absorbs Sagrantino's tannin over 3–4 hours of cooking and an equal number of years in the glass

The most extreme Italian cheese for the most extreme Italian red — Pecorino di Fossa's concentrated pungency and crystalline texture can stand against Sagrantino's formidable structure
