Cantina La Veneranda Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG
La Veneranda winery has been producing wines and olive oil in this area since 1568 and can look back on a very long tradition. The name “La Veneranda” only emerged at the end of the 20th century and traces back to Maria Aloisa, who ran the estate from 1827 and earned the name “La Veneranda” (the Venerable).
The “king” among the wines of the Montefalco wine region is without question Sagrantino. A tannin-rich wine, intensely ruby red in the glass with hints toward garnet. The Sagrantino variety has been produced since the Middle Ages and reflects the taste of this exceptional region of Umbria. On the nose: strawberries, raspberries, and a hint of herbs and vanilla, sweet tobacco, and coffee.
On the palate, dry with the typical tannins of the Sagrantino grape, but well balanced, without overpowering alcohol. Pleasant to drink and fresh. A Sagrantino is very suitable for longer cellaring: up to 15 years. Over the years, this wine evolves in the bottle and becomes smoother and even more enjoyable.
Pairs well with cheese, pasta with meat sauce, red meat, or various roasts. We recommend drinking this wine at a temperature of 18 to 20 degrees Celsius. This Sagrantino is delivered in a high-quality glass bottle, extra thick, with a special cork seal. Very nice as a gift!
