Umbria is particularly adapted to the production of wine, due to the temperate climate and the gentle slopes that have an abundant exposure to the sun. These contribute to the making of excellent Umbrian wines that the local producers have been creating since ancient times, using natural, basic methods. |

Sagrantino di montefalco Heir to a long tradition of wine production from the gentle umbrian hillsides, today’s Sagrantino is made from superb grapes transformed by the winemakers into a noble wine, ruby red, dry, velvet smooth with just a slight bitter aftertaste. It goes particularly well with special roasts or game. Uncorked several hours ahead of time, if served at a temperature of 15°-18°c., it is sublime. |
