Montefalco Sagrantino - older vintages

From our reserve we are able to offer some older vintages of our Montefalco Sagrantino docg. The available vintages are:

 

2011

Vintage characterized by a spring and early summer with low rainfall and alternating cold and warm temperature regimes, and by a rather slow veraison
and irregular. From the end of August and throughout September the weather was warm and dry with strong temperature fluctuations. Early harvest for early varieties (Merlot), normal for medium-late and late grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Sagrantino.

2012

Characterised by the scarce availability of water during the year. A rather dry and cold winter; spring with little rain and mild, but there were some frosts between April and May. Much of the summer lasted with high temperatures and no rainfall. From the end of August to mid-October, cool temperatures, with a good range from day-to-night  and some well-localised rains, allowing the plants to carry out maturation in an optimal way.
