Lou Miranda Fierce III Sagrantino 2021

Sagrantino, from the Italian region of Umbria, is a rich, full style of red, often tannic. This example spends a considerable period of time maturing in American oak. Sagrantino is a variety which seems well suited to Australia and this wine is from an excellent vintage. Deep red, there is real concentration here, with red fruits, chocolate, leather, black fruits, plums, warm earth and a briny note. Good, rich plushness on the palate with a supple texture. There is a gentle but lingering finish with sleek but abundant tannins. Expect some moderation of the tannins over time. Like this a lot. Enjoy it over the next four to eight years.
