Fongoli Sagrantino Passito 2008

Sagrantino Passito 2008 is a sweet passito wine from Fongoli in Montefalco, Umbria. It is produced from Sagrantino grapes and follows the production method of Sagrantino di Montefalco, with grapes from an even later harvest, and thus with a good four years of ageing in Slavonian oak barrels. The nose opens with ethereal and balsamic, oxidative and aromatic scents; in the mouth it is an oxymoron, sweet, fresh, salty. In short, varied and magnificent, in fact we consider it reductive to call it a sweet wine. Like all great representatives of the species, it also goes well with complex savoury dishes.
