It is a variety with particularly dense tannins, which was once vinified in appassimento to create sweet wines. In recent decades it has been rediscovered, and enological advancements have allowed it to be enhanced with more delicate and careful vinifications. Today, the Sagrantino di Montefalco represents an excellence of Umbria and expresses some of the longest-lived wines of the peninsula. After the classic red vinification with skin maceration, the wine rests for 12 months in barrique and finishes aging with at least 6 months in bottle. The color is dark ruby red. The bouquet recalls ripe red fruit, \u003cstrong\u003enotes of \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eunderbrush and humus\u003c\/strong\u003e, dark chocolate, oriental spices, bitter cocoa, and tar. On the palate, it has a important structure, with a dense, lively tannic texture and very rich aromas. The finish is intense, balanced, and very persistent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Còlpetrone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60326786367872,"sku":"18V95350","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/1860\/5335\/files\/sagrantino-di-montefalco-memoira-colpetrone-2018-307370_609f9799-6f5d-441d-8e1f-f529452da14b.png?v=1794320565","url":"https:\/\/checkout.callmewine.co.uk\/products\/sagrantino-di-montefalco-memoira-colpetrone-2018","provider":"Callmewine UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
