Staff Pick Notes

Umbria, the region this wine is from, is the only centraI Italian region without access to the sea. It's typically a red wine region and its wines are traditionally full-bodied and concentrated. This wonderful wine is not an exception. Known for dark and dense red wines, Sagrantino is a grape unique to Umbria. The best examples come from the clay, sand, and limestone soils around the village of Montefalco. The wine must be made from 95% of the local Sagrantino grape and aged at least 37 months to give its rough edges time to soften. It is an intense wine with black fruit and herbal notes but at the same time it's not overwhelming. It's complex with a silky tannin but pleasant. I would pair it with red meat or red sauce primi piatti.
