VM 92 pts

“Sweet wine made from 100% Sagrantino semi-dried grapes. The traditional version of Montefalco Sagrantino. The name derives from the Latin “sacer”: a holy wine destined for consumption during the Christian festivals. At the end of September, the grapes are hand-picked and placed in crates in single layers. The bunches most suited for drying are specially selected. On crates for about two months Vinification using gravity feed thanks to the two levels of the cellar. Fermentation in contact with the skins is done at a low temperature. Ageing in large oak barrels for at least one year. Then a long bottle ageing. Very deep colour, the nose shows blackberry, blackcurrant and raspberry jam, backed by spice and leather. The palate is sweet with red fruits and raisins and lovely balance.”
