Such a precious and complex label requires to be accompanied by equally rich and elaborate dishes, roasted red meats and aged cheeses.

In fact, this wine is full, sweet, with a slight initial tannic sensation and excellent persistence. Being a sweet wine, it is perfect to end meals and pair desserts or dried fruit.

  • Montefalco Rosso 2020: considered – wrongly – the younger brother of Sagrantino, in reality it is a wine capable of giving great emotions.
