Cantine Migliosi

The toponym Ponte Rosso which names a stretch of this plain it clearly refers to the stream and the bridge of the same name which allows it to be forded. This portion of the countryside has always been linked to the production of local wines, the white and red of Assisi, once excellent wines without a blazon which, a few years ago, obtained recognition of their quality level with the DOC. A few years ago the Migliosi family, for a long time among the most shrewd and qualified local producers, acquired a splendid estate in the locality in question, the Ponte Rosso, with prestigious vineyards and excellent exposure. Overlooked by the imposing mass of the Sacred Convent of San Francesco and with a spectacular view of the town of Assisi, the estate winds along the valley near the stream. Last but not least, exactly at the beginning of 2020, the Migliosi family decided to acquire vineyards in Gualdo Cattaneo, in the Montefalco DOC area, thus starting the production of two new red wines: Rosso di Montefalco DOC ( a blend) and Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG (100% Sagrantino). Montefalco and the surrounding area are undoubtedly the most prestigious wine area of Umbria and Sagrantino is becoming increasingly popular both in Italy and abroad due to its uniqueness due to this ancient grape variety impossible to find elsewhere in the rest of Italy. Thanks to an accurate redevelopment and selection work, the vineyards are now able to produce high quality blends with which the fine wines typical of the Assisi area are obtained. To guarantee the highest quality level, the grapes are harvested by hand and selected with cutting-edge technologies directly in the cellar. Furthermore, the entire production is about to be converted into ORGANIC so as to enhance and certify the intact beauty and authenticity of the territory. The stretch of plain that divides the lower slopes of Mount Subasio from the offshoots of the town of Santa Maria degli Angeli is still intact, with the exception of a few rural buildings from the Middle Ages. The Tescio torrent that crosses it flows placidly towards the nearby Chiascio river to become its tributary at the height of the former Benedictine monastery of S. Paolo delle Abbadesse.
