MONTEFALCO SAGRANTINO

DOCG

A red wine rich in polyphenols, it represents the typical expression of a unique grape variety in the international scene. The Montefalco Sagrantino Dionigi is famous for the variety of its taste-olfactory sensations. A typically dry wine, smooth and velvety, it has blackberry and blueberry aromas, spicy taste of black pepper and cinnamon, but also licorice and chocolate.

It is a full-bodied wine with a long lasting freshness, its intense ruby red tends to garnet after the 24/36 months long aging in wood and the 5 more years in bottle. 

It perfectly suits roasted red meats, roasted lamb, game and strong cheese.

Serve at 20°C after oxygenating.
