THE PRODUCER : Tabarrini

Nose: Aromas and flavors of red and black plum, cinnamon, and earth.

Taste: Great body medium tannin and medium acidity.

Stony soil, looser and lighter than the other vineyards, an easterly exposure, and aging in large barrels make this Sagrantino the bastion of elegance in Cantina Tabarrini. Cool, relaxed, distinctly mineral, it combines the individual identity of the grape with a joyous but very aromatic complexity. Marketed no less than four years after harvest.
