🍷 Episode 46: Sagrantino – The Dry Mouth

Ready to go beyond the usual suspects on your wine journey? In this episode, we’re getting up close and personal with Sagrantino—one of Italy’s boldest and most tannic red wine grapes that’s still flying under the radar.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

- Why Sagrantino is considered one of the most tannic grapes in the world (hint: even more than Nebbiolo!)
- The unique flavor profile that blends dark fruit, spice, herbs, and earthiness.
- The incredible aging potential—and why patience truly pays off with this wine.
- Tips on pairing Sagrantino with food (spoiler: think big and meaty).
