Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG Memoira 2017 Còlpetrone originates from the estate vineyards located in Gualdo Cattaneo, in the heart of Umbria, an area particularly suited to Sagrantino production. The Còlpetrone winery stands as one of the denomination’s key references, consistently expressing the territory’s identity and the structure of this native grape variety. Made from 100% Sagrantino grapes, the wine ferments with temperature-controlled maceration followed by a second post-fermentation maceration that enhances extraction and complexity. After racking, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in French oak barriques, where it rests for 12 months before completing its evolution with an additional 6 months of bottle aging. The result is a characterful red wine with a deep ruby color, authentically reflecting Umbrian winemaking tradition and the structured nature of Sagrantino.
