Flavor Profile

Beyond the label

Sofia Barbanera’s Saracosa is one of our best-selling, most popular Italian reds. Grateful for such a positive response, she’s crafted this special premium edition. It will be a serious treat for lovers of any super-rich red—and will definitely impress in its 1.5-liter magnum bottle (the equivalent of two regular-sized bottles in one).

Sofia turned to Tuscany’s historic governo method and allowed a portion of her ripe Sangiovese to air dry for 20 days—this dials the flavor concentration and complexity of the wine way, way up. Adding a dash of Merlot imparts a plummy smoothness, and time aging in oak barrels weaves inviting spice notes throughout.

Look for vibrant red fruits (think strawberry and cherry), plus creamy chocolate raisin and vanilla oak notes. One sip and you’ll see why Italian critic Luca Maroni often lavishes it with huge praise and high scores. The experts at Wine Enthusiast were also impressed, and gave a previous vintage (the 2020) a coveted spot on their "Best of the Year 2023" Buying Guide. The Barbanera family (below) are, of course, thrilled with such a warm reception.

Like any red made with this level of care, there aren’t that many MAGNUM bottles to go around—give governo a try today and see what the buzz is all about.
