WINE DESCRIPTION
Novelli Montefalco Sagrantino is a premium red wine produced by the Novelli winery in the Montefalco appellation of Umbria, Italy. The wine is made from the Sagrantino grape, which is known for its thick skin and high tannins, resulting in a full-bodied and complex wine. The vineyards are located on hillsides with clay and limestone soils, providing ideal growing conditions for the Sagrantino grape. The winemaking process involves a long maceration period and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a wine with intense aromas of dark fruit, spices, and leather, and a long and persistent finish. This wine is a perfect choice for those who appreciate bold and powerful red wines with a sense of place.
