2017 Lungarotti Sagrantino Passito Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG

A passito wine for meditation with an intense ruby colour in which the presence of tertiary aromas hints at jam, prunes, bilberry and cloves. It has noteworthy polyphenolic complexity together with a soft sweetness, leading to a persistent, tantalizing finish of dark chocolate and spices.

Sagrantino 100%; double spurred cordon pruning system, harvested in mid-October and left to dry for 2 months on grates in dry conditions in order to avoid any risk of mould. Fermented in stainless steel with skin maceration 20 days; this is followed by 12 months in barrique and 18 in bottle. A wine with long aging potential.

For food pairings, we suggest: sweet-sour meat dishes or those with chestnuts, aged cheeses, pastries and pies with red fruits, particularly blackberry.
