Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG

History of wine

Tenute del Cerro has decided to create its own line exclusively dedicated to the modern channel. At the core of the brand is a distinctive, effective, and transversal concept across different consumption occasions. The white labels with a graphic sign that draws from the Etruscan alphabet and interprets it in a modern key translate the desire to identify ourselves as an iconic, simple brand that at the same time tells our story. The story of two great wine regions, but not only: Tuscany and Umbria are the heart of Italy, they are the cradle of Italian culture, for art, architecture, landscapes, and history.
