CollenottoloMontefalco Sagrantino Docg
Tenuta Bellafonte
Sagrantino has uncertain origins, but it is thought to have come from Greece, arriving in Italy with Byzantine monks. Traces of cultivation dating back to the Middle Ages can be found in the lands near the town of Montefalco. In the past it was mainly used during religious services, the reason for the name of this intense wine with great aging capacity.Read moreSold out
