Tudernum Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG 2016 - Country: Italy - Capacity: 0.75

Pride of Umbria, Sagrantino di Montefalco is the most popular DOCG among fans of red wines of great character. An incredibly powerful and elegant wine that is only produced in this green corner of Italy. Super selected grapes of 100% Sagrantino, coming only from vineyards owned by Cantina Tudernum. After harvesting, the skins are left to macerate for about three weeks, keeping the temperature always under control. Then we proceed with racking to separate the flower wine from the now exhausted marc. The delicate maturation phase, essential for this wine naturally endowed with great personality, takes place in French oak barriques. A forced stay of at least one year which, together with the one in the bottle before being rleased to market, brings the total refinement of this red wine to about 33 months. Just under 3 years of waiting to taste a glass of this wine, incredibly intense both in the nose and in the mouth. It's a red wine that should undoubtedly be paired with very structured dishes, including game, or very mature cheeses and spicy flavour. ...
