Tenuta Bellafonte
39.50 €
Sagrantino has uncertain origins, but it is thought to have come from Greece, arriving in Italy with Byzantine monks. Traces of cultivation dating back to the Middle Ages can be found in the lands near the town of Montefalco. In the past it was mainly used during religious services, the reason for the name of this intense wine with great aging capacity.
Bright ruby red with garnet highlights. Red and berry fruits, flowers, watermelon and tamarind notes, spices, rhubarb, graphite. Balanced, slightly tannic, soft, fresh savory and persistent.
