Every wine needs suitable bunches selected at the right ripeness.

For Montefalco Sagrantino Cesarini Sartori, we hand-select 24% of the grapes from our vineyards.

Pre-fermentative cryo-maceration aims to extract sweet tannins, an essential prerogative for Sagrantino grapes. Fermentation is carried out at a constant temperature through modern temperature control while respecting tradition; pump-overs are frequent in the first days. After racking, the wine settles in steel vats for a few days before being transferred to barriques where it undergoes malolactic fermentation, finally undergoing aging in large barrels and long refinement in the bottle.

The ruby red color is very intense, impenetrable to light, and consistent.

The nose is decidedly broad: from blackberry jam, a varietal expression of Sagrantino, it reaches black pepper, passing through vegetal facets, cocoa and coffee memories, balsamic notes, pipe tobacco.

On the palate, the robustness of the wine is perceived, the freshness is remarkable, and the tannin is straight on the legs, ready to face long aging. Soft, like all the wines of the company, it has a sweet finish and an unforgettable persistence.

Pairs well with structured dishes, important meats, game. Enjoyed alone, it is an excellent companion for meditation.
