Benedetti & Grigi La Gaita del Falco Montefalco Sagrantino 2014
The traditional wine of Montefalco. A wine of great depth and complexity, obtained exclusively from Sagrantino grapes, which obtained its DOCG status in 1992. Thanks to the increasingly care taken during the wine making and ageing processes, Sagrantino has evolved from a highly tannic and rustic wine into one of the finest and best known Italian wines.

Colour

Red wine with bright violet nuances.

Bouquet

Intense ripe red berry fruit, nutmeg, pepper and cocoa and spice aromas and aftertaste.

Flavour

Soft and silky, it is a powerful ageing wine and its noble tannins means it ages well.

Pairing

This exciting wine goes perfectly with roast red meats, game, elaborate first courses and fullflavored cheeses.
