Sagrantino Collepiano symbolizes the "Renaissance" of Montefalco as a wine region and Sagrantino as a unique variety grown only in Montefalco. Collepiano is Sagrantino's area of production, and refers to the gentle slopes that characterize the hills. Micrographic analysis shows that Sagrantino has more polyphenols (wine's flavor components) than any other Italian grape. A deep ruby red, intense, penetrating, and expansive on the nose with potent raspberry/red currant fruit, richly spiced by the oak, its deep, concentrated, and powerful flavors, almost chewy in their richness buy velvety in their texture, give an exceptional continuity and length.
