Description
Vitalonga Maravalle Franciosine 1897 DOC
The absolute pinnacle of wine. One could perhaps call this a SUPER UMBRIAN wine. This wine is crafted from only the best grapes grown on the hills of the Vitalonga estate. The estate features 20 hectares of vineyards at an altitude of 450 meters above sea level. The soil has a good structure of clay and sand. To produce Maravalle Francoisine, the winemaker walks the vineyards many times to hand-pick only the best grapes at precisely the right moment.
This wine is highly complex, as it is composed of a cuvée of 5 different grape varieties. On the nose, red fruits such as cherries, red currants, and blackberries, with notes of herbs, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In the mouth, a powerful yet very long finish with aromas of chocolate, roasted almonds, and wild berry jam.
This wine received 96 points from wine critic James Suckling, a leading figure in the wine world. The production of Francoisine is limited to just 600 bottles. Each bottle bears its own unique number out of the 600 produced. A wine to be savored for a very long time. Exclusively unique: truly a Super Umbrian wine!
