Sagrantino di Montefalco

Sagrantino di Montefalco ia a wine produced in Umbria made 100% out of a grape 🍇 that grows there: Sagrantino. (Do not confuse with Montefalco Rosso as that wine uses Sangiovese grapes and ia produced in Tuscany) I don’t like light bodied wines and perhaps that’s the reason I like the Sagrantino the Montefalco so much, is very structured and complex. Wood plays a complementary and very important role in Sagrantino di Montefalco giving that hints of oak in the palate.

According to DiWineTaste.com the origin of Sagrantino is not clear and there is a lot of stories about it. Among this theories, it is believed the grape was introduced to Montefalco by some Franciscan monks coming back from Asia Minor. This theory would also suggest the origin of the name as it seems Sagrantino was used for the production of wine to be used in sacred rites.

Según DiWineTaste.com, el origen de Sagrantino no está claro y hay muchas historias al respecto. Entre estas teorías, se cree que la uva fue introducida en Montefalco por algunos monjes franciscanos que regresaban de Asia Menor.
