La Carraia Fobiano 1997 - 0,75l

La Carraia Fobiano 1997 is a characterful Umbrian red made from 100% Sangiovese, offering the kind of depth and structure that serious wine lovers appreciate. Matured in oak and now with the added nuance of age, it brings together ripe fruit, spice, and a touch of vanilla in a style that reflects both its regional roots and classic Italian winemaking tradition.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep red color with maturity at the rim, hinting at its evolution over time. The nose is expressive and layered, with aromas of ripe red fruit, warming spices, and subtle vanilla from oak aging. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, with balanced fruit, well-integrated tannins, and a long, pleasing finish. The wine still has the structure to continue developing, and while it is already beautifully expressive, it can hold further in bottle for up to around 10 years from release under proper storage conditions.

Production
Produced in Umbria from 100% Sangiovese, Fobiano 1997 reflects the region’s inland terroir, where warm days and cooler nights help preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. The grapes were harvested in 1997 and the wine was matured in oak barrels, adding spice, texture, and gentle vanilla tones to the finished wine.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs especially well with red meats, game dishes, and aged cheeses, where its structure and depth can really shine. Serve it at 18-20°C, and decanting is recommended if the bottle still shows youthful reduction or sediment, allowing the aromas to fully open.
