Description

Winemaker's Notes

Thanks to the perfect climate conditions in the Colpetrone area we can harvest the grapes very late. This allows the grape to retain a higher amount of polyphenol and sugar that creates a wine this is round and rich to the palate.

The Label

The label represents a golden hawk. The Legend has it that in ancient times the monks of the area found a wounded golden hawk and to cured it using the skin of the local grape. Given the grape healing power from then on was always considered sacred. Consequently, the origin of the name of the Sagrantino grape.

Tasting Notes

The color is a ruby red, on the nose ripe red fruits and jammy notes. On the palate is silky and well-structured with a long finish.

Food Pairings

Exceptional pairing with stewed meats and BBQ.

Vinous

Cracked chalk, wild herbs and tart black cherries define the bouquet of the 2018 Rosso. It’s soft-textured and lifted in feel, with a burst of inner sweetness that gives way to notes of wild strawberry and mint. This tapers off with medium length and juicy, leaving nuances of blackberry and violet pastille.
