Food Pairings: This Sagrantino is perfect for accompanying grilled red meats, game, braised dishes, and roasts. It is also ideal with aged and intense cheeses, such as pecorino di fossa or Parmigiano Reggiano. It also pairs well with spicy and flavorful dishes from traditional Umbrian cuisine.

Terroir: The Sagrantino vines grow on hills with clay and limestone soils typical of Montefalco, which enhance the wine's minerality and structure. The climatic conditions, characterized by hot summers and cold winters, allow for a slow ripening of the grapes, helping to develop robust tannins and concentrated aromas, which are ideal for long aging.

Vinification: The Sagrantino grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a long maceration to promote the extraction of color and tannins. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks, followed by aging in oak barriques for 22 months and an additional 6 months in the bottle, a process that lends complexity and depth to the wine.
