Taste: The palate is enveloped by a full and persistent body, characterized by well-integrated tannins and a pleasant bitter aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/strong\u003eThe production of this Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG is characterized by meticulous vinification, with a long maceration of the skins lasting at least three weeks. During the fermentation process, a temperature below 30°C is maintained, thus optimizing the extraction of the prized aromas. The maceration phase with the skins takes place at a controlled temperature between 25°C and 28°C, to promote optimal concentration. The wine then ages in small French oak barrels, barriques or tonneaux, after completing malolactic fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation and Refinement\u003c\/strong\u003eTo achieve the distinctive complexity and elegance of this wine, a total maturation of 36 months is required, as prescribed by the production regulations.

It's only natural that right here, in the heart of green Umbria, amid hills cultivated with vineyards and olive groves, dotted with towers, villages, and medieval castles, the decision was made to create Perticaia. After purchasing the land, a substantial effort was undertaken to plant new vineyards and build a modern winery, perfectly blending with the surrounding environment and maintaining the character of the area's old farms. Respecting the teachings of the past, the company now boasts around fifty hectares of vineyards. Of these, more than ten hectares are planted with Sagrantino, along with a hectare and a half of olive groves: \u0026quot;Vigna delle Querce\u0026quot; is bordered by centuries-old trees preserved after the land was transformed, once used for arable farming; \u0026quot;Vigna Attone\u0026quot; runs alongside the eponymous stream, and \u0026quot;Vigna Montioni\u0026quot; takes its name from the family of the former owners. The land, all hilly, is located on a slight slope, at an altitude between 320 and 350 m. s.l.m., mainly exposed to the south, south-west.As is traditional at the Perticaia winery, after the harvest, which is done manually in the cellar, every production step is aimed at enhancing what the season and the terroir have been able to express in the fruit. Today, Perticaia is a model organic winery for the region. A winery capable of producing wines of great expressiveness and elegance, to be discovered one by one to immerse oneself in Umbria, and in the most representative grape varieties of the entire region and the Montefalco area in particular.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perticaia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47601929027915,"sku":"VIN01267","price":26.87,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6616\/2598\/files\/MontefalcoSagrantinoDOCG2016Perticaia.png?v=1716904341","url":"https:\/\/cosidilposto.com\/en\/products\/montefalco-sagrantino-docg-2016-perticaia","provider":"Cose del Posto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
