Colle Grimaldesco, Tabarrini - Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG

Presentation: Garnet color, fruity notes that recall plum, red fruits such as black cherry and currant. Hints of dark chocolate, cocoa powder, spices, sandalwood, thyme. Well-integrated tannin that intertwines perfectly with a pleasant persistence and intensity. The first wine produced by the company with which Giampaolo Tabarrini immediately made people talk about himself. The grapes come from clayey soils, rich in silt, with an excellent exposure to the South-East, to guarantee perfectly ripe grapes and a powerful and balanced wine at the same time that ages in large barrels and comes out on the market no earlier than four years after the harvest. The company: The Tabarrini family has lovingly cultivated its vineyards and produced wine in Montefalco, in the Turrita area, for four generations. Only at the end of the 90s, however, thanks to the intuition and enthusiasm of Giampaolo Tabarrini, did the company change pace, deciding to bottle the wines and putting to good use the experience of years of work. Shortly thereafter, the new winery was also born, which, immersed in hills and vineyards, gives life to a suggestive and typically Umbrian landscape where man and nature go hand in hand. But it is from the love for the land that great wines are born. Of the twenty-two hectares of the estate, eleven are planted with vineyards. Here, Sagrantino, which finds its very raison d'être in Montefalco, has a central, irreplaceable and fascinating role. The Tabarrinis treat it with respect and pride, like the other grapes owned, which are then the only ones to be transformed into wine. From the bunch to the bottle. This is the true philosophy of a family that personally follows, with scrupulousness and passion, every little step of its creatures.
