The Sagrantino-Wine is produced
with native grapes that Franciscan friars
brought back from Asia Minor to Monefalco.
Although today Sagrantino is mainly
produced under the label „Secco“,
it presumably used to be produced and
classified almost exclusively as „Dolce“,
the grapes being dried on wooden slats
for several months.
For the Secco und Passito (liqueur wine)
the product regulations prescribe that
this DOCG – quality wine must
be kept for at least 31 months and in
the case of the “secco”
the regulations require that for at
least 12 of these 31 months the wine
must be kept in wooden barrels. This
guarantees the maturation into at a
ruby-red to garnet colored wine with
a fine blackberry flavor and a warm,
aromatic taste. |
