Designation: DOCG

Site: Located on the hills 300-400 meters above sea level; southern and southwesterly exposure; training system spurred cordon & Guyot. 

Grapes: 100% Sagrantino, hand-picked in the second half of October.

Fermentation and Aging: Vinification using gravity feed; fermentation in contact with the skins for 25 to 40 days. The wine clarifies spontaneously with no need for filtration. Aged in large oak barrels for at least 18 months. Then the wine settles in glass lined cement vats for some months before being bottled.

Notes: Intense ruby red in color. Rich and powerful to the nose, with a complex and ethereal quality. Typically characterized by notes of fruit and aromatic herbs, featuring citrus, cherry, wild berry, mint and oregano. On the palate this wine is finely structured, with firm and integrated tannins. Sagrantino generally reaches full maturity after 10-15 years from the harvest and is able to bottle age for more than 30 years. Pair with grilled and roast meats, stewed red meats, game and mature hard cheeses
