Description
La Carraia Fobiano 1998 is a distinguished Umbrian red made entirely from Sangiovese, offering the kind of depth and finesse that has made classic Italian reds so cherished. With its balance of elegance, structure, and bottle-aged complexity, it stands out as a wine for memorable dinners and collectors alike.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass with garnet reflections, this wine opens with an expressive nose of ripe red berries, spices, and a refined touch of tobacco. As it evolves, subtle hints of vanilla and chocolate add warmth and complexity, giving the bouquet a polished, mature character.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and graceful, with well-integrated tannins and lively acidity that keep the wine poised and focused. The finish is long, smooth, and pleasantly layered, suggesting excellent drinking now with the potential to continue showing beautifully over time.
Production
Produced in Umbria from 100% Sangiovese, Fobiano reflects the character of its central Italian terroir, where the region’s hills and climate help preserve freshness while allowing full phenolic ripeness. The grapes are harvested for quality rather than quantity, and the vinification is carried out to highlight varietal purity, structure, and elegance.
Food & Serving
This wine is an excellent match for roast or grilled red meats, game, and aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C; decanting is recommended, especially if the bottle has been stored for a long time, to help the wine open fully and reveal its aromatic complexity.
Producer
La Carraia is an established Umbrian producer known for crafting wines that express the region’s character with clarity and balance. With a focus on quality and traditional Italian grape varieties, the estate has earned appreciation for wines that combine authenticity, elegance, and age-worthy structure.
