Lungarotti Sagrantino

Lungarotti Sagrantino - Montefalco, Umbria, Italy

Producer's Notes : 

A red wine with great richness in polyphenols. Deep and intense purple-red colour with a complex bouquet of red fruits, marasca cherry, currant and raspberry, as well as delicate notes of sweet tobacco and cocoa, finishing off with hints of officinal herbs. The structure is dense with rich but harmonious tannins and wonderful complexity; the fruitiness is sustained by fresh acidity and the finish is long-lasting.

What we say:

Bold, powerful, and deeply rooted in Umbrian tradition, Lungarotti’s Sagrantino is a striking example of one of Italy’s most intense and age-worthy red grapes. Known for its robust tannins and remarkable depth, Sagrantino here is tamed with finesse - showing structure and richness without sacrificing elegance.

The nose is dark and expressive, with aromas of blackberry, black plum, and cherry compote layered with notes of cocoa, leather, spice, and earthy herbs. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and richly textured: firm yet polished tannins frame concentrated dark fruit, while vibrant acidity brings balance and lift. The finish is long, savoury, and complex, hinting at the wine’s impressive ageing potential.
