(May 2022) … During the Anteprima Sagrantino I tasted 47 wines in quick succession blind and gave them a rating based on how I see their potential moving forward. Sagrantino DOC is a wine that needs years to be drinkable, and it is nice to see that some producers are trying to create a wine that is drinkable sooner. Long live Sagrantino, but not always in the cellar – time to bring some of them out for a taste.
These wines below were tasted blind and given a Good / Better / Best rating for potential in the future:
