This full-bodied red boasts a rich, deep color that captivates the eye, while its high acidity provides a refreshing brightness on the palate, balancing the wine's robust profile. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing ripe blackcurrant and dark cherry notes that harmoniously intertwine with subtle undertones of cedar and earth. Tannins are firm yet refined, offering a structured mouthfeel that enhances the overall experience.

Umbria

While not as famous as Piedmont or Tuscany, Umbria offers some exceptional wines for the intrepid explorer. The "green heart of Italy," Umbria is the only region in Italy that neither borders the sea nor another country. Among its ruggedly beautiful hillsides and forests are 13 wine-producing areas, growing a wealth of grape varieties. Most common is Sangiovese, which is sometimes blended with Umbria's unique red grape, Sagrantino. This grape is responsible for some incredibly dense and tannic wines. But Umbria is probably best understood through its zesty dry whites, especially Orvieto, a blend of Grechetto and Trebbiano that is typically unoaked and bursting with complex fruity flavor. The IGP (Indicazione Geografica Protetta) classification within Italy's winegrowing and winemaking world specifically links the place or region where the fruit was grown to the quality of the finished product. It is the broadest of the classifications within the country's system.
