Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG 2019 Lungarotti

Grapes are carefully hand-harvested at optimal ripeness from Montefalco vineyards to ensure selection of healthy, concentrated fruit. Traditional red vinification with controlled temperature in stainless steel or concrete tanks to preserve primary fruit aromas, Extended maceration on skins (3–4 weeks) to extract maximum colour, tannins, and structure, typical of Sagrantino. Malolactic Fermentation is carried out in large oak barrels to soften acidity and integrate structure. Aged in large Slavonian oak casks or medium-sized French oak barrels for 18–24 months to develop complexity and harmonise tannins. Additional bottle ageing before release ensures balance, elegance, and long-term ageing potential. Deep garnet red with purple reflections. Clear and bright, high intensity. Complex aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry, complemented by spice, cocoa, leather, and hints of tobacco. Subtle floral notes of violet. Pronounced intensity and very good complexity. Full-bodied and powerful. Firm, well-structured tannins with high acidity providing excellent balance. Flavors mirror the nose: dark fruits, spice, and earthy notes. Long, persistent finish with great ageing potential. High-quality, structured, and age-worthy wine. Already approachable but will develop further with several years of bottle aging.
