On the palate, it reveals a \u003cstrong\u003epowerful and compact structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by a marked \u003cstrong\u003etannic concentration\u003c\/strong\u003e that is capable of evolving elegantly over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis profound red originates in the heart of Umbria, specifically in Gualdo Cattaneo, an area historically renowned for the production of \u003cstrong\u003eSagrantino di Montefalco\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Colpetrone winery cultivates the Sagrantino grape with great care for the unique characteristics of the land. The name of the wine evokes a refined linguistic interplay, combining the Italian word memoria with the Greek moira and the French mémoire. This origin gives the wine a pronounced \u003cstrong\u003eterritorial identity\u003c\/strong\u003e, capable of reflecting the character of a unique hilly landscape through a \u003cstrong\u003edistinctive flavour profile\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification begins with fermentation at a controlled temperature, accompanied by \u003cstrong\u003edaily pump-overs and délestage\u003c\/strong\u003e. At the end of this phase, a \u003cstrong\u003eprolonged maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e is carried out, slightly increasing the temperature to encourage optimal extraction of colour and tannins. After racking, the wine is transferred to \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and matures for twelve months, followed by a further six months of bottle ageing. Before tasting, it is recommended to decant the wine for about an hour, making it ideal to elegantly accompany flavourful first courses, roast red meats, game, and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Memoira is born from a refined blend of the Italian “Memoria”, the Greek “Moira”, and the French “Mémoire”, creating an evocative and internationally inspired union.
