Here is a rich, dense and nicely saturated Sagrantino with lively aromas of sweet spice, cinnamon, nutmeg and dark berry or plum. You’ll taste the wine’s thick tannins and enjoy its spicy aftertaste. Drink after 2013. ——M.L.(3/1/2011)—— 89

Here is an absolutely unruly and untamed red wine from Umbria with dark, impenetrable concentration and inky tones of black cherry, blackberry, plum, Indian spice and wet granite. It has very astringent tannins, which are characteristic of the Sagrantino variety, and lingering flavors that recall smoked ham or bacon.——M.L.(5/1/2008)—— 87
