One of the headline wines of Umbria, the 2018 Montefalco Sagrantino 25 Anni gives us an important and complex expression of one of Italy's most stubborn (and tannic) grape varieties. The workmanship behind this wine is precise and technique-based, and of course it's reliant on the best fruit produced in these manicured vineyards. The results show a full-bodied style that is given momentum by ample fruit weight and a 15.5% alcohol content. Blackberry, cherry liqueur and baking chocolate segue to sweet oak and spicey mahogany. This is a production of 15,000 bottles. ... More details

An exotic and smoky mix of dusty dried flowers, allspice, sage and dried black cherries emerges from the hauntingly dark 2018 Montefalco Sagrantino 25 Anni. This is densely textural and weighty in feel, yet the balance is on point, as brisk acids maintain momentum, and a saturation of ripe red and black fruits permeate the palate. Balsam, mint, tobacco, dark chocolate and licorice can all be found through the long and utterly dramatic finale, as the 25 Anni finishes structured, yet more approachable than l've come to expect. Arnaldo Caprai did a great job in creating a highly successful wine in 2018; however, don't expect it to take the usual ten years (or more) that this bottling usually does to come around.

A dense, full-bodied red, with notes of cedar and pine on the nose winding through ripe crushed black cherry, plum and currant fruit. Fresh and tightly meshed, with appealing accents of red licorice, eucalyptus and graphite lingering on the firm finish. Best from 2025 through 2033. 750 cases made.

Aromas of black walnut, blackberry and licorice, following through to a full body with chewy tannins and lots of dark, inky fruit. Some walnut and coffee-bean undertones. Needs two or three years to soften. Drink after 2024 or beyond.
Winery
With the spirit of the challenge but also with the love and imagination of those who pursue a dream, this wine has been made that wants to act like the beyond of Sagrantino. Sagrantino 25 Anni was born from the exciting research experience and from the special selection of Sagrantino grapes. Produced for the first time with the 1993 vintage to celebrate the company's 25 ° anniversary, it has since retained this name together with the character, power and elegance that distinguish it. AROMA: Surprising complexity ranging from blackberry jam to rose, from nutmeg to pepper, from pine resin to mint, from clove to cocoa. TASTE: Soft, persuasive, which never ends. The freshness is inviting, the tannin is elegant and composed.

Region: Umbria

The beautiful central Italian region of Umbria may well be a fraction of the size of neighboring Tuscany, but still manages to impress and surprise the international wine community with their outstanding produce and the volume they make it in, with the region turning out over twenty five million gallons of wine per year. However, Umbrian wine makers have been exceptionally keen to emphasize the fact that they are primarily concerned with creating quality, characterful and unique Italian wines, often made from blends of native varietals, with imported Bordeaux grapes. In particular, the aged white wines of Umbria, made from Chardonnay and Grechetto grapes, have proven to be a huge success internationally, demonstrating how this particular region is ready to blend traditional practices with innovation and the pursuit of perfection when it comes to making wines.

Country: Italy

It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.
