Sagrantino is an Italian grape variety that is thought to be native to Umbria. It is mostly cultivated in a small area around Montefalco in Perugia, which is also the location of its flagship appellation, the DOCG Montefalco Sagrantino.

This thick-skinned grape is known to produce full-bodied and tannic red wines. The grape can be used in varietals and blends—it is mostly blended with Sangiovese in Montefalco Rosso DOC. Sagrantino-based wines are rich in color, tannins, acidity, and sugar.

Usually, they also tend to have high alcohol content. These intense and powerful wines have aromas of red and dark berries, violets, and hints of herbal and balsamic-like notes. 

Montefalco Sagrantino is an Italian appellation for dry red wines that are made exclusively from the local Sagrantino grapes. The wines are incredibly tannic, full-bodied, and powerful, with delicate aromas of red and dark fruits, star anise, as well as hints of violets, tobacco, vanilla, licorice, and leather.

Because of high tannins, Montefalco Sagrantino ages exceptionally well, and though the minimum aging period is 37 months, out which one year must take place in oak, most varieties will benefit from longer aging. It is also recommended to decant the wine before serving. 

Torgiano Rosso Riserva is an Italian DOCG appellation located around Torgiano, Perugia. The region produces complex and elegant red wines based on Sangiovese, which has to make a minimum of 70 %. Other permitted varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Canaiolo, and Colorino.

The wines are floral and fruity, with aromas that are reminiscent of violets, roses, cherries, and plums. These wines can age exceptionally well. As they age, they tend to develop jammy, toasty, and leather notes with hints of spice. On the palate, they are incredibly well structured, powerful, and round, with good acidity, freshness, and fine tannins.
