In the glass
Aroma: blackberry jam, rose, nutmeg, black pepper, pine resin, mint, clove, cocoa
Palate: soft, persuasive fruit, elegant, composed tannin, inviting freshness
Anniversary-vintage Sagrantino di Montefalco with astonishing aromatic range, from blackberry jam and rose to pine resin and cocoa, carried by soft but persistent tannin.
What it pairs with
-
Wild boar stew
The wine's firm tannin and spice notes stand up to the gaminess and slow-cooked richness. -
Aged pecorino di Norcia
Salt and hard fat cut the tannin while the wine's dark fruit answers the cheese's nuttiness. -
Grilled lamb chops
Char and fat give the tannin something to grip; the pepper and clove notes echo the seasoning.
