Sagrantino is famous for being one of the most tannic varieties in the world, requiring years to soften. A 2001 vintage opened today will have shed its youthful aggression, revealing a velvety texture with deep notes of blackberry jam, dark chocolate, leather, cured tobacco, and exotic spices. It is a massive, contemplative wine perfect for rich roasted meats or aged cheeses.
