Cianfagna Sator Gran Maestro Tintilia 2011

SATOR wine is the flagship of the company. Produced by tintyled grapes only, with only flower must. It is a "ruffiano" wine that immediately conquers you with elegant Bordeaux. Important shoulders, a red fire wax seal and a small parchment that reveals the label's sense of magic: the magic square. An inscription in Latin, engraved on a stone of Templar origin, found in the town of Acquaviva Collecroce, a refreshment point for the Templars crossing Italy to arrive in the Holy Land and in many other parts of the world. A mysterious formula, 5 words of 5 letters that can be read in both directions and on each side of the square.
At the opening of the bottle the color is decisive and full, a fine ruby ​​red with shades tending to the mature, as you expect from the typical this grape. The scent of fruit is intense, with clear hints of blackberry and black cherries prevail over plum and undergrowth. Pouring the alcohol note is warm and enveloping (we are talking about a wine with 14.5% alcohol) but well supported by the elegant tannic component, harmonious and balanced; continuing to eat by surprise the strength of alcohol is no longer felt; the finish is still pleasantly bitter, as is typical of tintily. . . and the memory still thrilling. . .
