Crafted by the historic Adanti winery, this wine reflects a deep connection to the land and a commitment to preserving the authentic character of Sagrantino while embracing modern winemaking techniques.

Vineyards and Terroir

The grapes for this Montefalco Sagrantino Adanti DOCG come from two carefully selected vineyard parcels located in the municipalities of Bevagna and Montefalco, in the heart of Umbria.

One vineyard lies at approximately 250 meters above sea level on clay-limestone soils, while the second vineyard sits at 360 meters above sea level on clay-sandy limestone soils. The combination of these distinct terroirs contributes to the wine’s remarkable complexity, structure, and elegance.

Winemaking and Aging

Harvesting is carried out entirely by hand during the first half of October, ensuring optimal grape ripeness and concentration.

Following destemming and crushing, fermentation and maceration take place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 28°C for 21 to 24 days. Daily pump-overs and délestage techniques enhance extraction while preserving balance and finesse.

The wine is then aged for approximately 30 months in large oak casks and tonneaux, followed by an additional 24 months of bottle aging. This extended maturation allows the wine to develop extraordinary depth, complexity, and harmony.
