Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG

Vineyards, wine cellars and wine estates for sale in Montefalco, Umbria

Sagrantino di Montefalco, a distinguished Italian wine, originates from the picturesque hills of Montefalco in the Umbria region. This enchanting area, with its rolling vineyards and rich soil, provides an ideal terroir for the cultivation of the Sagrantino grape. Nestled in the heart of Italy, the Montefalco DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) zone is renowned for its unique microclimate and optimal elevation, contributing to the distinct characteristics of Sagrantino wine.

Despite being a niche wine, the Sagrantino holds a significant place in the Italian viticultural landscape. The region, covering approximately 2,000 hectares, produces a relatively modest quantity of Sagrantino, averaging around 400,000 bottles per year. This limited production is a testament to the exclusive nature of the wine and adds to its allure, making it a sought-after gem for wine connoisseurs and collectors alike.

The wine exhibits a deep, intense ruby red color, and its complex bouquet showcases notes of dark fruits, spices, and a subtle hint of earthiness. Known for its high tannin content, Sagrantino offers a powerful and structured palate, with a remarkable aging potential that can span decades. This full-bodied red wine is often praised for its ability to evolve gracefully over time, revealing layers of complexity and refinement. With its unique flavor profile and limited availability, Sagrantino di Montefalco stands as a testament to the winemaking traditions and terroir of the Montefalco region, capturing the essence of Italian craftsmanship in every bottle.
