Another wine Angy & I opened during his visit, from the unique Sagrantino varietal that is, I believe, grown only in Umbria. This one shared the unique intensely spiced nose (cinnamon was closest I could come to describing it) and huge weight I've seen in the few other Sagrantinos I've drunk, but it was more minerally than others I've had. It was also extremely tannic. A large framed, chiseled wine for the long haul. Pretty good acids. It was a little rough to sip on its own, but once we started in on the rich braised lamb shanks we had, it went very well, cutting through the richness of the dish. I think I got this from B-21 Wines in Florida several months ago for $39.
