Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from Gualdo Cattaneo in the province of Perugia.
Grapes
100% Sagrantino.
Vinification
Fermentation and maceration take place at a controlled 24–28 °C with daily pumping over and délestage. Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, maceration continues at 29 °C. After racking, the wine is transferred to oak barrels.
Ageing
The prescribed maturation totals 37 months, including 12 months in wood and at least four months in bottle. Memoira spends 12 months in oak, followed by extended maturation in stainless-steel tanks and bottle.
Tasting profile
Powerful, concentrated and long-lived, with an almost impenetrable color. The aromas are intense and broad, combining red fruit with fine spicy nuances. The palate is decisive and strong, with pronounced tannic concentration, particularly in youth.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 18 °C in a large glass. Pair with roasted red meats, rich or elaborate dishes, and aged cheeses.
Label / history
Memoira was Còlpetrone's first wine made from Sagrantino and serves as an introduction to the estate's history with the variety. Its name evokes a wine intended to remain memorable and expressive over many years.
