My first Sagrantino! Well I experienced as it is being described. Dusty, dungeon earthy nose; intriguing. Dark red juicy fruit, tart, coarse tannins. No finesse, not really any layering or complexity. Just a hard hitting, juicy, tart wine. We had some aged white cheddar (Cougar Gold!) that was able to stand up to it and took the tartness down a few notches so the juice underneath became a little more exposed. Really didn’t get much better after a few hours in the decanter. It reminded me of a tart, red juicy Tannat. Final conclusion. Not for me. Afgekeurt! Couldn’t really understand how Decanter rated it with a 97 🤔. We are going to Umbria and the Montefalco region next month. I’ll give it another try at the birthplace of Sagrantino. — 5 days ago
Tight Rioja that needed some time to open up even after 9 years. Remained somewhat single note. Strong, sharp tannins, continued to edged the the dark fruit of dark red cherry and unripe figs. Had a toast to Gino. Celebrating his life and the impact has had on all of us. — 25 days ago
Initially served too warm lifting the warm spice and baked flavors from the Syrah and alcohol onto the palet in an overwhelming way. After chilling it down some it become much more balanced and revealed the dark fruit flavors of the Cab. Interesting g experience all together. — 2 months ago
OMG. This wine was awesome!!! Incredible. The upfront spiciness, the dark fruit infused with earth on the mid palet and this addictive finish that makes you crave for more. Fantastic!!! — 12 days ago
Dense, concentrated chocolate, dark fruit with a jammy edge. Full bodied, sweetened with ripe vanilla oak and fine grained but potent tannins giving it a lingering finish. Perhaps a bit passed its peak but still extremely good. — a month ago

Excellent value for the money. Bright clean honest wine with rich notes of red pie cherry and hints of fresh leather. A winery that spends its effort on the wine, not the bottle.
