Country: Italy / 25 Anni
Variety: Sagrantino Central Italy
Winery: Arnaldo Caprai / Montefalco Sagrantino
Enticing and earthy, this opens with compelling aromas of truffle, tobacco, black-skinned fruit, menthol and a whiff of blue flower. The palate is both structured and elegant, delivering dried morello cherry, prune and pipe tobacco framed in taut fine-grained tannins that give it a firm velvety texture. It’s still tightly wound and needs time. Drink 2022–2032.
