Vinification of Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG by Roccafiore

The vinification of the Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG combines traditional craftsmanship with modern cellar techniques. The careful selection of the terroir contributes significantly to the quality of this wine. The grapes are cultivated in the traditionally managed vineyards of the Montefalco region, known for their mineral-rich soil and perfect climate. The harvest is done exclusively by hand to select only the best grapes and avoid damage.

After the harvest, the grapes undergo gentle destemming and maceration. This occurs in stainless steel tanks, where a controlled fermentation lasting about two to three weeks takes place. Subsequently, the wine ages for a significant period in French oak barrels. This maturation imparts additional aromas of vanilla and toasted notes, giving the wine an elegant complexity. After this aging phase, the wine is filtered and bottled, where it can further mature before hitting the market.
