Tasting profile

A varied red blend presented as a Montefalco classic in its own right rather than as a lesser counterpart to Sagrantino. It brings together local grapes, the area’s winemaking tradition and the estate’s contemporary outlook.

Serving and pairing

Label / history

Its identity is built around the meeting of Sangiovese, Sagrantino and Barbera, varieties historically associated with the estate’s interpretation of Montefalco Rosso.
