Description
Molino dell'Attone Sagrantino di Montefalco Antonelli, organic is a true Cru, the first from the Montefalco winery. Produced exclusively with selected Sagrantino grapes from a single vineyard of 0.50 hectares. Located in the heart of the Montefalco appellation, at an altitude of 400 metres above sea level, with an eastern exposure, we find a cultivation of rows oriented according to the slope of the land. The soil type is of Miocene and marine origin, characterised by the presence of marl and rich in minerals such as phyllosilicates, quartz and feldspars. The Antonelli winery planted this vineyard in 1990, where the homonymous wine is produced exclusively.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested manually during the coolest hours of the day, usually at the end of October. Once in the cellar, the bunches are carefully selected and then gravity-driven into stainless steel maceration tanks where they are left to ferment in contact with the skins for 40 days at a controlled temperature of approximately 28° C. Malolactic fermentation will then take place in wood.
Refinement
Maturation initially takes place for 36 months in 5 hl oak barrels, after which the blending of the different barrels concludes for at least 12 months in the bottle.

Sommelier Suggestion | This wine is one of the great Italian red wines particularly suited to ageing. It requires a long period of ageing to reach full and harmonious maturity, and its power and structure guarantee extraordinary longevity over time, with important aromatic evolutions. This is why it will reach full expression 10-15 years after the harvest. |
Tasting Notes | In the glass it has a deep, intense ruby red colour. On the nose one can immediately notice cherries in spirit and black pepper that make way for toasted tobacco, leather and coffee. In the mouth, one perceives the power and warmth of this wine. Imperious tannins that cleanse the mouth with every sip make it endlessly persistent. |
Pairing Advice | |
Pairing | Perfect companion for grilled meat with a good fat content, such as pork, lamb, goose and beef with strong marbling. It is a worthy companion to large stews, game and aged hard cheeses. |
