      This rich Sagrantino is a great wine to be paired with roasted or grilled lamb and other meats. Black truffles, game and aged cheeses are also lovely partners to match the tannins and body shown in the bottle. Temperature when served should be between 64-68 F.

    "Aromas of sandalwood, blueberries and chocolate powder follow through to a medium body, firm and silky tannins and a beautifully fruity finish."

  • 25 Anni, Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG – 2011 – 92+ points – Vinous

    “… black cherry, licorice, mint and tree bark, accompanied by a very pure violet … fruit flavors are complicated by coffee, graphite and mineral nuances. Finishes with outstanding breadth … This ought to develop beautifully over the next ten years.”
