Vintage Notes:
2009 was a very low cropping vintage thanks to a heat wave during flowering. This caused a very low percentage of berries completing set, and thus impacting crops drastically, resulting in some fast ripening and very concentrated fruit. The Sagrantino grape is found traditionally in the town of Montefalco in Umbria, and as such, is used to plenty of heat. The berries have extremely thick skin, loads of rich tannins, a beautiful floral aroma and a great natural acid line. It is the inaugural release of Sagrantino under our small batch range and we hope you will enjoy it.
