Sacreterre

1999 Umbria Sagrantino

The Azienda Agrario Tili Pietro Sacreterre Sagrantino from the renowned Umbria region presents a captivating deep red hue indicative of its rich heritage. This 1999 vintage showcases a full-bodied structure, paired with high acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering a delightful burst of dark fruits such as black cherry and plum, complemented by earthy undertones and a touch of spice. Tannins are notably firm, lending a robust character to the wine while ensuring a graceful aging potential. The wine is bone-dry, allowing its complex flavors to shine through without any sweetness, making it a perfect accompaniment to hearty dishes or a cozy evening by the fire.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
