Description
One of our bestselling Italian red wines, Saracosa is inspired by Italy’s famous Super Tuscan wines, blends of native Italian grapes with international varieties, It was a style first championed by Piero Antinori in the 1970s and kick-started the region’s renaissance, becoming some of the most exclusive and expensive in the world.
Saracosa is crafted by award-winning winemaker Sofia Barbanera at her family estate, overlooked by the Saracosa hill near Montalcino. Half of the vineyards lie within the prestigious Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, with the rest just outside the official boundary. Low-yielding vines deliver intensely concentrated grapes, as you’ll taste in this expressive red wine.
In seven vintages, Saracosa has notched up six scores between 94-98pts in the country’s famed Luca Maroni Guide, and five Golds as well.
Luscious layers of dark berry fruit, warm spice and a hint of vanilla make this elegant wine a delicious pairing with local favourites such as pasta with wild boar ragù, salami or grilled lamb.
