Tour Details

A magical afternoon to discover the wines of Umbria, Montefalco, through two local wineries with the aim of discovering the Sagrantino di Montefalco and Montefalco Rosso, understanding the production differences.

Visit of the cellars, tasting their wines and listening to their history directly from the producers.

And to conclude a ‘homemade’ dinner in the cellar, as tradition has it, with only local products, prepared and consumed as an Umbrian family.

The Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG is the characteristic and best known wine of the Umbria Region, whose production is allowed in the municipality of Montefalco in full, and part of the territories of Bevagna, Gualdo Cattaneo, Castel Ritaldi and Giano dell’Umbria always in the province of Perugia .

Sagrantino has a very ancient history, in fact as early as the thirteenth century it was linked to the religious community of the Franciscan monks, who cultivated it for the production of passito for religious rites.

The recognition of the D.O.C. is dated 30 October 1979, followed on 05 November 1992 by the DOCG. which includes the types of dry and passito.

Powerful, full-bodied, pulpy, it has a deep flavor, more than good alcohol content. Obtained from Sagrantino grapes, which thanks to the rich supply of polyphenols and tannins, it has an extraordinary longevity
