Description
 
The first of its kind, Contrario (meaning contrary) represents a new way of interpreting the Sagrantino grape. The Contrario has been cultivated and vinified in such a way as to obtain a younger, more enjoyable, fresher, and very drinkable version of Sagrantino wine. fermentation in contact with the skins for 15-20 days at a temperature of 25°C; spontaneous clarification without filtration.
Ageing: in stainless steel vats for 18 months; assembling and clarifying in cement vats for 3 months; bottle ageing for at least 6 months.
Tasting notes: dense ruby red colour. A rich and intense nose, featuring fruits with marked notes of citrus and wild berries. Subtle scents of aromatic herbs. Elegant and fresh on the palate. Very persistent and fruity finish.
Paring: this is a wine that can be enjoyed with all courses of a meal. It goes well with pork cold cuts and cheese, with flavoursome first courses, legume soups and main courses of poultry and red meat. Ideal accompaniment to semi-matured cheeses.
Best period for drinking: a wine that can be consumed immediately, but continues to age in the bottle for several years.

Excellent service! March 25, 2014
Reviewer: Edward Dumas from Knoxville, TN United States  
After placing my original order for 3 bottles, a representative called me a few days later and offered me another bottle with no increase in shipping cost to fill out a 4-bottle box.  It was delivered on a Saturday in time for a gathering that night.  Excellent!
