Savaterre Maurizio Sagrantino 2018

Hand-picked fruit, 20% whole bunches, natural open ferment. Matured 18 months in Burgundian oak, unfiltered. Named to honour the late Maurizio Ugge of Aquilla, Italian food and wine importer, who introduced the winemaker (Keppell Smith) to Italian wines. The high priest of tannin, the sagrantino grape is transformed by Keppell into a plush, focused, savoury, full bodied, fine (and firm) tannic young wine, worthy of extended time in the cellar. A striking herbal thread blends in with black fruits, plum, bramble, bracken, earth and truffle which, in itself, is a complex grouping and so very different. You are not in comfortable ol' shiraz territory anymore; it's a pretty exciting place to be. 95 Points Jeni Port - Halliday

Inky, dark fruited red of savouriness and depth. Dark cherry, liquourice, saline mineral and graphite mineral characters, a bit of meat drippings and dried leaf character, undergrowth and sweet earth too. Slow moving but seriously good to sip on, a wine of grunt and groan with stuffing and depth. It's heady in perfume, complex in flavour, but has this silk-draped-on-velvet-pillow feel too. A great wine, original and very good. 94 Points Mike Bennie - The Wine Front
