2019 Vinous Obscura 'Sacris' Sagrantino

$28.00
SOLD OUT - Look for next vintage

Our second release of this incredible grape. Sagrantino has mysterious origins, but is considered an Italian grape. It was resurrected in Umbria by Signore Caprai in the 1970’s after decades of neglect. Sagrantino has the highest polyphenols and tannins of any wine grape in the world, making it perfectly suited for longevity. We aged our wine for 20 months in neutral French & Hungarian oak barrels and another 10 months in bottle. Our patience, is your reward.

O.G. SACRAMENTAL WINE ✝️

This vintage is explosive. At release, this wine is showing an incredible array of potpourri aromatics; dried roses, pomegranate, myrrh, frankincense, and lava rock. This wine is compact, with gorgeous layers of dark fruit flavors, and dusty tannins. Sagrantino is one of the most ancient of the European wine grapes. It was the main grape that was used in the production of sacramental wines for centuries. Grown on the edge of the Columbia Gorge, this wine shows exceptional promise. This wine continues to evolve in bottle and will benefit from continued cellaring.
