The Sagrantino masters at Arnaldo Caprai bring us this pleasant Rosso to enjoy while the monsters are being tamed in the cellar. Black cherry, plum, sage, vanilla and spice aromas and flavors dance together over moderate tannins and soft oak toast, with structure to linger long with all the elements in play. Appetizers, red meat, white meat — this is a real food friendly wine at a great price. 70% Sangiovese, 15% Sagrantino and 15% Merlot.
