Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG

Tonight's wine - big dark fruit, big earth, big tannins, big smile....

Got this on close out and it is so, so good. Has plenty of time left too. And I have one more...lucky me

Delicious Sagrantino photo-bombed by the Kitchenaid.

This is probably the most tannic wine i have ever had. Even the most tannic Barolo I've had wasn't this grippy. If you put this wine in your cheeks the drying sensation within your mouth is almost unbelievable.
This is a dark purple/ruby red wine with some signs of age.
Nose: Big black fruit. Really concentrated deep blackberry and cherry. Black currants and leather also are present. Theres a sweaty kind of funky element also. Kind of like an armpit hah. Some barnyard types of earth coming through. Clearly oak aging has occurred here also. The nose is quite spicy on the back end.
Palate: Black cherry, raspberry and cranberry on the palate with currants, very ripe to over ripe. Some earthy qualities also, on the palate, leather and licorice also linger. The finish is cedary and spicy. Peppery finish. Fun wine.

thank you lord in heaven.

teeth ripper

Sagrantino di Montefalco is one of my favorites and this big tannic gem did not disappoint. Very interesting history around this grape, indigenous to Umbria, that nearly went extinct.

Pleasant yet mucho tannins and moderately dry. Very nice! Red plums.

If you don't like Sagrantino you're outside of your mind.

Love it!
