Cut:

This year is characterized by an ideal Spring rainfall. Temperatures above average throughout the Summer and up until October hot and dry. This has led to a slightly early ripening of the grapes but outstanding in terms of quality


Montefalco Sagrantino 2011 DOCG

Number of bottles produced: 17.850

Intriguing and intense ruby in colour, it unveils refined iris and lavender scents, with raspberry and blueberry conserve, a touch of sweet spicies and aromatic herbs. It creates a great harmony on the palate; in spite of its full bodied tannin structure, it satisfies the palate with its delicate hues of fruit and toasted flavours.
