Sagrantino by Martinelli, the link with Montefalco production area

The low yields for hectare, the harvest is entirely manual and a more careful selection in the basement make this a red wine really extraordinary

350 meters above sea level, the soil is mainly sedimentary, tendentially clayish and argillaceous.

The yield for hectare is limitated (50 quintals/Ha, 60% wine).

The maturing of wine is 30 months, of which at least 12 months in French sessile oak casks and 8 - 12 months in bottles

DOCG SAGRANTINO DI MONTEFALCO 2005

Description: dark in color, has a complex olfactory: tobacco, pepper, plum jams, balsamic notes. The taste is full, deep, warm with evident tannins, very long gustatory persistence. Excellent on roast game, a red one to be forgotten for twenty years in the cellar.
