{"product_id":"lou-miranda-sagrantino-2016","title":"Lou Miranda Sagrantino 2016","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bold, deeply structured expression of Sagrantino, a grape known for its intensity, firm tannins and brooding dark fruit. Now in its fourth vintage, it showcases the potential for Italian varieties to thrive in the historic Barossa Valley. Only 6,000 bottles are produced, underscoring its limited, hands-on approach. In an Australian context, it takes on a slightly more generous edge, with concentrated blackberry, dried herb and spice notes sitting over a powerful, structured frame. This is a wine that leans into grip and depth rather than easy charm, with time in bottle helping to soften its edges and reveal greater complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlackberry, black cherry and plum drive the core, layered with liquorice, dried herbs and dark spice.
