Còlpetrone Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG

Còlpetrone Sagrantino di Montefalco is a wine produced with Sagrantino grapes from the Còlpetrone winery of the Tenute del Cerro group. Sagrantino is an autochthonous umbrian grape that has been rediscovered over the last 20 years, a difficult grape from a very tannic wine with a wide range of fragrances capable of challenging the time like Great Italian wines. The Sagrantino grapes are manually harvested at perfect phenolic ripening degree, fermentation with maceration takes place in thermocontrolled stainless steel tanks at a temperature of about 24-28 ° C for 20 days during which many pump-over and delestages are repeated. At the end of the fermentation maceration continues for several days raising the temperature to about 29 ° C to favor the processes of polymerization of the tannic material, since the Sagrantino is particularly rich in it, trying to make the tannins less aggressive. Subsequently, the Còlpetrone Sagrantino di Montefalco wine is separated from the skins and aged in French oak barrels for 12 months before blending and bottling.
