| Terre de’ Trinci is
located in Umbria, the heart of Italy’s wine growing region. Members of the
Trinci family have been part of the ruling elite in Foligno (center of the
Sagrantino area) since the 12th century, building perhaps the
best-known castle in Foligno, on Piazza Grande, the Trinci Palace. Today, Terre de’ Trinci carries on the tradition of excellence in their winemaking with this example of Sagrantino, indigenous to the central region of Umbria. In olden days these grapes were used for sacramental wines (hence the name, Sagrantino). This is a wine of unique background, character and personality Tasting Notes: Robust in dark red-berry fruit flavors, it typically features a substantial robe of tannins that can turn seductively velvety over time. This is a perfect match with roasted and grilled meat, or rich, hearty pasta dishes. NOTABLE AWARD  One
