2021 Sagrantino
Hailing from Italy's Umbria region, Sagrantino grapes are the most tannic grape variety. Aging this wine in oak barrels helps to smooth out these bold tannins and creates the wine's silky texture. With a medium garnet color, pronounced licorice, bourbon, and leather scents quickly overtake the nose. The medium body carries dried cherry, raspberry, brown sugar, and smoked cedar to the palate with a long finish. Due to the highly tannic nature of Sagrantino, this wine ages well and is best decanted before drinking. Akin to a Spanish Rioja, look for food pairings that feature fat and umami; smoked sausages, wild mushrooms, and heavy cheeses all match nicely. Perfect for those who find themselves near a campfire, this wine will comfort the travel-worn explorer or any general consumer who can easily enjoy themselves anywhere.
