Cantina La Veneranda Montefalco Sagrantino Passito
Cantina La Veneranda has been producing wines and olive oil in this region since 1568, boasting a very long tradition. The name “La Veneranda” only emerged at the end of the 20th century, tracing back to Maria Aloisa, who managed the estate since 1827 and earned the name “La Veneranda” (The Venerable).
Montefalco Sagrantino Passito is the traditional dessert wine from this region, made since the Middle Ages. After harvesting, the grapes are air-dried for 2 to 3 months, which sweetens them, before being pressed.
After the grapes are pressed, maturation takes place for at least 36 months, partly in small oak barrels and partly in the bottle.
This Passito has a very special structure and typical tannins, bringing forth a pleasant sweetness. This wine is very suitable for long-term storage. Excellent with game dishes, aged cheeses, almond pastries, or as an accompaniment to desserts, or simply on its own.
Please do not drink this Passito too cold: the aromas unfold best at a temperature of 18 to 20 degrees Celsius. Supplied in a 0.5 Liter bottle.
