Fongoli 05 Montefalco Sagrantino 750 ml
The Fongoli estate is located in the heart of the Umbrian wine country, amid the rolling hills of Montefalco, the home of the Montefalco Sagrantino D.O.C.G. And Montefalco Rosso D.O.C. The Fongoli family has dedicated over 80 years to winemaking in Montefalco, beginning with the purchase and renovation of the San Marco estate in 1927 by Decio Fongoli Calvani. Since then, grape cultivation and winemaking have become a passion, passed down through three generations to the vineyard's current owners, the brother/sister team of Angelo and Simona Fongoli. The idyllic Fongoli estate comprises 40 hectares of land with olive groves, oak trees and 26 hectares of vineyards. At the center of the property, the family home, a traditional Umbrian farmhouse, stands adjacent to a newly renovated cellar filled with large Slovenian-oak barrels. Next to the barrels, vistors can taste the family’s wine and see historic winemaking equipment and bottles of the earliest Fongoli vintages. Between this farmhouse/cellar and the vineyards, stands the modern fermentation and bottling facility where the family produces their wine every year. 100% Sagrantino harvested by hand in late October, this traditional-style red is aged 30 months in large Slovenian-oak barrels followed by 6 months in the barrel. Its deep, opaque, garnet hue gives way to an intense yet elegant bouquet featuring ripe red fruits and exotic spice. Typical of classic Sagrantino, this wine features distinct, chewy, yet well-balanced tannins. It is full-bodied, powerful and may be the most unique of Italy's noble grape varieties. It should be decanted before drinking.
