The traditional home for Sagrantino is a short distance north of Rome in the Umbria wine region of central Italy. For centuries Sagrantino has been used by the Roman Catholic Church as a sacramental wine during its Vatican Mass. Sagrantino is deeply coloured and is one of the most tannic grape varieties, despite generally being a medium bodied wine the plumage of tannin promotes the mouthfeel. The exotic red cherry, dried herb, and smoky blue-fruits typify the aroma and flavours of Sagrantino.

Montepulciano a native grape variety to the Adriatic Coast of Italy, and now grown in Eden Valley. ‘Monte’ is Italian for Mountain, and the high country of Eden Valley is ideally suited to growing this variety. Hiding behind the ruby coloured ‘wine-tears’ is the ‘hidden beauty’ and paradox of Montepulciano which is both sensual, mysterious and earthy in character, but at the same time liberated, wild and audacious.
