To the eye, it displays a deep, impenetrable red colour, which anticipates an aromatic bouquet dominated by notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe red fruit and leather\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, it asserts itself decisively, supported by a weave of \u003cstrong\u003econcentrated tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that gives it great structure and remarkable ageing potential. To fully appreciate its complexity, it is recommended to decant before tasting. Thanks to its strong identity, it is the ideal companion for \u003cstrong\u003eroast red meats\u003c\/strong\u003e, game, and mature cheeses, enhancing dishes with rich and intense flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red originates from the vineyards of \u003cstrong\u003eGualdo Cattaneo\u003c\/strong\u003e, a territory historically suited to the cultivation of Sagrantino. The harvest is carried out entirely by hand, with a rigorous selection of grapes from the best plots, carefully chosen for their \u003cstrong\u003eexposure\u003c\/strong\u003e and soil characteristics. This meticulous agronomic approach allows Colpetrone to gather healthy, concentrated bunches, capable of transferring all the \u003cstrong\u003epower of the Montefalco terroir\u003c\/strong\u003e into the glass, offering clean aromas and a solid territorial expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e, accompanied by daily pump-overs and délestage to extract the maximum from the raw material. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is transferred to \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it remains in contact with the fine lees to undergo malolactic fermentation, encouraged by weekly stirring during the first six months. The maturation in wood continues for a total of twelve months, followed by a crucial \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e of one year. This lengthy process allows the wine to achieve its balance and define its refined structural elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginating from Gualdo Cattaneo, the \u003cstrong\u003eColpetrone Sacer Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG 2011\u003c\/strong\u003e enhances the extraordinary power of the prestigious native Umbrian grape variety.
