Perticaia Montefalco Sagrantino 2015 750ml

Perticaia Sagrantino combines red cherry and dried prune with cinnamon and a firm tannic structure. This substantial Umbrian red calls for food with enough richness to meet its dry, slightly bitter finish.

Flavor profile

Cherry, dried prune and cinnamon on a full, tannic palate with a dry, bitter-edged finish.

Pairing & serving

Serve around 60–64°F (16–18°C) with braised lamb, beef stew or aged pecorino. Check for sediment and taste before deciding how much air an older bottle needs.

After opening & when to enjoy

Recork and refrigerate after opening. Aim to enjoy within 3–4 days for the freshest fruit; a mature bottle may fade sooner. Let reds warm back toward serving temperature before pouring.
