DFW personal note: I have a weakness for Sagrantino wines, although the grape seems to make a real breakthrough. This Adanti 2007 is a winner, but also earns an additional warning for newbies to Sagrantino (and this applies to most Sagrantino's) most people buy wine to drink immediately or in the short term. This can also with this wine, but the tannins are not completely integrated and will be softer within a year or 4-5 much - and within 10 years maybe more. An exception is the 2008 (in stock) from the same producer that is extremely accessible to drink now. So you recommend us to choose between a wine we rather to keep, and a wine that is already very good.
