"Peppucci's 2009 L'Altro Io is a pure expression of Sagrantino. The wine opens to a hearty, dark appearance and almost impenetrable density. The bouquet is weighted down with heavy aromas of black fruit, prune, exotic spice and black licorice. This is a masculine and wintery wine that would pair well next to meat stew or game dishes. The wine is very thick and long-lasting."
