Montefalco Sagrantino Passito DOCG
A passito wine for meditation with an intense ruby colour in which the presence of tertiary aromas hints at jam, prunes, bilberry and cloves. It has noteworthy polyphenolic complexity together with a soft sweetness, leading to a persistent, tantalizing finish of dark chocolate and spices.
 - grape varietalsSagrantino 100%; double spurred cordon pruning system, harvested in mid-October and left to dry for 2 months on grates in dry conditions in order to avoid any risk of mould
- vinificationFermented in stainless steel with skin maceration 20 days; this is followed by 12 months in barrique and 18 in bottle. A wine with long aging potential
- food pairingsA wine for meditation with special flavour because, although it is sweet, thanks to its polyphenolic richness, its flavour remains dry. It is a good match for both aged cheeses, pies with berries and pastries. Serve at 14°C (57°F)
- sizes375 ml
- anecdotesSagrantino is a native varietal as well as one of the most ancient grapes in Umbria that features great polyphenolic complexity. For this reason, it was traditionally produced in its Passito version.
On the label is a view of the Montefalco winery and in the foreground, a falcon, symbol of the area, where traditionally falcon hunting, the great passion of Emperor Frederick II of Swabia, was practiced.
