For a slow-cooked beef dinner or a bottle to keep in the cellar, this Montefalco Sagrantino from Lungarotti's Tenuta Brancalupo deserves attention. Its dense tannins make it a very different experience from softer Italian reds. Sour cherry, blueberry, cocoa and a touch of bitter spice give it depth, while fresh acidity balances the powerful palate and carries through the long finish.

The wine matures in both small and large oak barrels, followed by extended bottle ageing before release. This patience matters with Sagrantino, a grape known for its remarkable tannic concentration and ability to develop over time. We recommend serving it with braised meat or aged Pecorino from Norcia. The bottle also carries organic certification, reflecting the care taken in the vineyard.
