Sagrantino

<p>Awarded as one of the 100 best wines in the world by Wine Spectator, Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG Scacciadiavoli is a wine that will conquer even the most demanding palates. It shines in the glass in its intense ruby red with light garnet hues.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Features:</strong> Its bouquet is complex, intense, elegant and fruity with notes of small red fruits, citrus fruits, fresh spices and light balsamic notes. On the palate it has an excellent balance with good freshness and acidity. The tannin is well present and integrated into the structure, with a fruity, spicy and persistent aftertaste. The color is deep, the bouquet is sensual and the body is vigorous. A wine whose refinement is appreciated when young, when the fruit and spices blend with the taste of the wood, in which Sagrantino was elevated.</li> <li><strong>Pairings and recommendations:</strong> A classic to enjoy every day. Red with structure and great harmony, it goes perfectly with cold cuts and cured meats, first courses, red meats, game. To better appreciate it, it is preferable to let it 'breathe' at least 15-30 minutes before tasting it, if possible, in a goblet with a medium opening, ideal for light and medium-bodied red wines, which do not require oxygenation to open. The slightly narrower opening than the body of the glass favors the concentration of aromas towards the nose, enhancing the perception of aromas and limiting their dispersion.</li> </ul> <p><strong>SIZE / WEIGHT:</strong> Bottles of 0,75 l.</p> <p><strong>ORIGIN:</strong> Italy.</p> <p><strong>GRAPES:</strong> 100% Sagrantino.</p> <p><strong>SERVING TEMPERATURE:</strong> 16/18°C</p> <p><strong>ALCOHOL:</strong> 15, 5% vol.</p> <p><strong>STORAGE METHOD:</strong> Cool place away from sunlight.</p> <p><strong>SPECIFIC NOTES:</strong> Contains sulphites</p> <p><strong>PRODUCER:</strong> AZIENDA AGRARIA SCACCIADIAVOLI DI PAMBUFFETTI SOC.

Cantalupo, Bevagna (PG).</p> <h3>Tenuta Castelbuono</h3> <p>Fascinated by an ancient and almost mystical land like Umbria and by a wine of extraordinary power and longevity such as Sagrantino, the Lunelli family acquired the Castelbuono Estate, 30 hectares of vineyards in the municipalities of Bevagna and Montefalco, in 2001. Efforts were initially concentrated on the vineyards, now converted to organic farming, with new plants and the enhancement of existing ones through an articulated selection project clones. In 2003 Montefalco Sagrantino was born, followed the following year by Montefalco Rosso. However, there was a need for a new cellar and the Lunelli family, by virtue of a solid and old friendship with Arnaldo Pomodoro, one of the greatest contemporary artists, proposed to him to create it. The Master accepted with enthusiasm and after the first inspection he had already imagined the project. The “Carapace” – as Pomodoro wanted to call the cellar – required six years of work and was inaugurated and open to the public, for visits and tastings, in June 2012. It is a unique work, which challenges the boundaries between sculpture and architecture. It is the first sculpture in the world in which people live and work, a unique work in which art and nature, sculpture and wine interact, underlining the exceptional nature of both the container and the content. It offers itself to the eye as a large dome covered in copper, engraved with cracks that recall the furrows of the earth that embrace it. A sculptural element in the shape of a red dart sticking into the ground underlines the work in the landscape. Entering the "Carapace" means entering a sculpture by Pomodoro, as immediately perceived by his artistic alphabet, immediately recognizable in the internal vault. A signature cellar for signature wines.</p>
