The Story
A still red from the heart of Umbria, Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG, 16% ABV, produced by Colpetrone (Tenute del Cerro). Vintage 2017. A wine that embodies the power and elegance of Sagrantino, a native Umbrian grape. The grapes are harvested in late September and vinified with temperature-controlled maceration (maximum 28°C) with daily pumping over. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels and 6 months in bottle. Intense and complex nose with prominent notes of spice and red fruit jam. Deep ruby red color with garnet highlights. Powerful and full-bodied on the palate with great length and structure. An ideal pairing with red meats, game, and aged cheeses.
