Big, broad, this is a muscular type. If you like them large, Sagrantino could be your new thing.
Tannic, this will soften with age, but do people buy Sagrantino to age? Decant and let it breathe and it will reward in part. It does soften slightly over a couple of days but the beast is hard to tame. Black and dark red fruits power on. Red plums and dried Mediterranean herbs surge. A mouth-filling wine, powdery, drying tannins coat the mouth. A wine style that may be too "big" for some yet others will salivate for more. Invite it to roast night and feed it meat.
