Vinification of Montefalco Rosso from Napolini

The basis for the powerful Montefalco Rosso from Italy is grapes from the Sangiovese, Merlot, Montepulciano and Sagrantino varieties. In Umbria, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay soils. After harvesting, the grapes quickly make their way to the winery, where they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in large wooden vats at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the powerful Montefalco Rosso is aged for another 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels.
