Sagrantino

Red wine grape · reported 2005–2025

Further reading: VIVC catalog entry

Sagrantino is an Italian variety from Umbria, known for producing some of Italy's most tannic red wines, traditionally from Montefalco. It has no bearing acreage reported to CDFA in California; it has appeared in district crush records since 2005, across 15 districts over 21 crop years. In California it remains a minor, largely unreported planting, grown by a small number of producers for powerfully structured varietal reds.
