On the nose, it reveals hints of iris, lavender, blueberry jam, sweet spices and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it shows excellent balance, where the \u003cstrong\u003esignificant tannic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e is balanced by the intensity of the fruit and \u003cstrong\u003edelicate toasted notes\u003c\/strong\u003e. Best served after careful decanting, it pairs perfectly with roast pork, robust meat dishes and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in Umbria, in the Bevagna area, a region historically dedicated to Montefalco viticulture. The ten hectares of vineyards are situated at an altitude between 260 and 320 metres above sea level. The \u003cstrong\u003eclay soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, alternating with \u003cstrong\u003emarl and sandstone formations\u003c\/strong\u003e, create the ideal environment for vine growth. This unique geological composition, combined with low yields per hectare, helps define the \u003cstrong\u003eintense and concentrated expression\u003c\/strong\u003e that characterises every glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vines benefit from targeted fertilisation using selected manure. In the winery, the destemmed but uncrushed grapes ferment as \u003cstrong\u003ewhole berries\u003c\/strong\u003e spontaneously thanks to indigenous yeasts. This is followed by a long maturation in \u003cstrong\u003elarge Slavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, before a further period of rest in the bottle. This red is bottled without any filtration, a choice that preserves its \u003cstrong\u003earomatic integrity\u003c\/strong\u003e and natural expressive character.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCollenottolo\u003c\/strong\u003e from Tenuta Bellafonte celebrates the majesty of Sagrantino, a prized Umbrian grape variety with ancient medieval roots. Historically linked to the liturgical tradition of Montefalco, this oenological masterpiece stands out for its unparalleled intensity. Thanks to its rich polyphenolic profile, it boasts an extraordinary \u003cstrong\u003eageing potential\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing the notes of spices and aromatic herbs to evolve magnificently over time. A true tribute to tradition, it is matured in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e to impart a deep and elegant tannic structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tenuta Bellafonte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44624697852075,"sku":"53603","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/tenuta-bellafonte-sagrantino-montefalco-collenottolo-2017_53603_1_9d2248c2-9ac9-46fe-8bf1-380f2f147d77.webp?v=1773742744","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/tenuta-bellafonte-sagrantino-montefalco-collenottolo-2017","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
