Tabarrini Sagrantino di Montefalco Colle Alle Macchie DOCG 2017

This is a mighty and powerful red wine with pronounced tannins, a full body, and a whole 16% alcohol, so it will want food of corresponding strength and richness on the plate. The tannins are softened by fatty proteins, while the wine's mineral and lightly smoky character suits grilled and slow-roasted meat. Stick to robust preparations like grilling and braising, and feel free to let a mature hard cheese round off the meal, since the cheese tempers the tightness of the tannins.
