The Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG from the Villarode winery, produced by Cesarini Sartori, stands as one of the most illustrious examples of Umbrian enology, a true gem for quality wine lovers. This wine, made from 100% Sagrantino grapes, is produced in the hills surrounding the town of Montefalco, where the rich soil and ideal microclimate enhance the potential of this native variety.
With a deep ruby red color, which can turn towards garnet as it ages, the Montefalco Sagrantino from Cesarini Sartori offers a complex bouquet of aromas on the nose. Prominent notes of ripe berries, such as blackberries and blueberries, are masterfully integrated with nuances of spices, dark chocolate, and a slight touch of vanilla, derived from maturation in wood.
On the palate, it reveals itself to be powerful yet harmonious, with a robust but well-balanced tannic structure, promising excellent aging potential. Flavors of dark fruit blend with delicate notes of leather, tobacco, and a persistence of spices that invites a second sip. The acidity is well-integrated and contributes to the wine's freshness, ensuring a long and pleasantly complex finish.
Ideal for accompanying rich dishes of red meats, game, and aged cheeses, Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG Villarode by Cesarini Sartori is a wine that tells a story of territory and passion, capable of delivering unique emotions with every sip. Perfect for a special evening or as a prestigious gift for discerning wine lovers, it represents a valuable addition to any cellar.
