Winery Review: Sir Passo by Duca di Saragnano is a blend of red berried grapes born from the desire to experiment with new flavours, new aromas and new scents that can surprise and amaze from the first taste. Luca Maroni - 98
Wine Folly: pg. 87 Tuscany Italy - Increased tannins which were definitely noticeable and came across overpowering the flavor profile of the wine. I tasted cherry and a hint of strawberry which the book noted. Supposedly the palate is also made up of licorice and coffee which I missed. pg. 162 Sangiovese - Higher acidity and low sweetness. Tasted the cherry but not the roasted tomato, sweet balsamic, or espresso. Did not let the wine decant for the suggested 30 min.
My review: Let down by this wine. Honestly seemed a little too light and lacked complexity. High in tannins without the balance of much noticeable flavor and a little too bitter for my liking. I did enjoy the cherry and strawberry however. Not deserving of the 98 points given to it by the ITALIAN wine critic.
I tasted it on its own without any food pairings.
