2018 Paulo Sagrantino

Available Vintages: 2015  2018  2022

An exquisite bold wine with flavors of black plum and dark, jammy fruits. As this wine undergoes extensive oak aging in brand new fusion oak barrels, delicate hints of spice and earth begin to develop. Unique and exclusive, it is the first Sagrantino to be grown in Texas.

The Bonarrigo family has been making fine wines since 1800. It’s an old family tradition that the first-born son of each generation is named Paul, or Paulo, and will learn the winemaking practices of his father that have been passed down from generation to generation. Today, Messina Hof founder, Paul V. Bonarrigo with his son, Paul M. Bonarrigo, honor this family tradition by handcrafting this personal selection of grapes into rich, premium, distinctive wines—only the best can be called Paulo. Thus, this collection salutes all the fathers and sons before and from whom they’ve learned so much.
