100% Sagrantino. The vineyard is located on the hills between 300 and 400 m altitude; southern and southwesterly exposure; trellising system Guyot. Average age 15 years. The winemaking fermentation includes contact with the skins for 25-40 days at 25-28°C. The wine clarifies spontaneously with no need for filtration. The wine is then aged in lightly toasted 500L oak barrels for 6 months, then in 25 hL oak barrels for 18 months. Then aged for 12 months in cement vats. Finally, another 12 months of aging in the bottle.
Antonelli San Marco is a family-run estate led by Filippo Antonelli, who has been a force to be reckoned with in Montefalco since 1986. All practices are organic across their 75-hectare estate, of which 50 are planted to vine. One of the region's royal families, Antonelli's reputation has been well earned through years of research in the vineyards, a lineage of excellent vintages and Filippo Antonelli’s multiple terms as the head of the Montefalco Consorzio. The style of the wines shines brightly amidst a tasting of Sagrantino. Elegance, beauty and finesse are achieved from a variety more closely associated with power and tannic girth. Readers looking to understand the more ethereal side of Sagrantino should look no further.
