Sagrantino Futures 2024 / Aged 16 months

In 2012, after being impressed by Sagrantino’s intense color, structure, and long finish, we planted vines from eastern Washington and later added grafted vines from a local nursery in 2013. Sagrantino is an Italian red grape variety that is most famously grown in the Umbria region of central Italy, and is known for thick skins which contribute to their bold, tannic structure. While the grape is relatively obscure outside of Italy, it has gained attention in recent decades due its unique characteristics.This makes wines from the Sagrantino grape very powerful and age-worthy. Previously blended into our Italiano for structure and color, we will continue to blend a portion of our production, but will keep enough separate to showcase this distinctive varietal.
