Montefalco Sagrantino Montefalco Sagrantino "Collenottolo" DOCG Tenuta Bellafonte is located in Umbria, known as Italy’s “green heart” for its verdant countryside, full of rolling hills blanketed in wild vegetation and cultivated agriculture. Owner Peter Heilbron fell in love with the leafy landscape dotted with medieval towns and historic buildings and left his hometown of Milan for this unique terroir. Peter purchased 30 hectares (74 acres) close to Bevagna in the Montefalco DOCG appellation. There are 7 hectares (17 acres) of Sagrantino under vine, from new and old vines, as well as 6 hectares (15 acres) of Trebbiano Spoletino, a local white variety that packs a punch. The sun-drenched tough, stony soil is mixed with the area’s typical marn and arenaceous formations. The remaining hectares include woodlands and 2,500 olive trees. Tenuta Bellafonte's aim is to blend into the landscape, impacting the environment as little as possible. The estate also uses solar panels and a biomass boiler and even the remains of pruning are used to produce energy. The winery itself rests on a stainless steel and stone structure directly in contact with the rocky soil, enjoying ideal ventilation thanks to underground conduits that transfer outside air and ensure naturally cool temperatures. Hot air exits the winery through two large chimneys. This same, eco- friendly logic applies to the Bellafonte vineyard practices. Fertilization is entirely natural and no chemical herbicides are used. The trickiest work is performed by hand. Pure Sagrantino grapes from vineyards near Bevagna, Umbria at an altitude of 260-320 meters (853-1,050 feet) above sea level with southeastern exposure. The grapes begin vinification while still whole through spontaneous fermentation. Maceration on their skins lasts about fifteen days. The wine then ages in large Slavonian oak barrels for thirty-six months and then a few months in bottle before release. Peter does not filter the wine. A lovely interpretation of a big wine, with notes of iris and lavender as well as preserved black fruits, which are all interlaced with sweet spices and aromatic herbs. Full-bodied with strong tannins. Collenottolo (colle means hill in Italian and Nottolo is the name of the hill) is named for the location of the winery and most of the Sagrantino vineyards.

  • Montefalco Sagrantino - Entering a New Chapter
    Montefalco Sagrantino - Entering A New Chapter Tom HylandContributor Food & Drink I write about wine (and sometimes food) from around the world. Sagrantino Vineyards at Tenuta Bellafonte, Bevagna Photo ©Tom Hyland Montefalco Sagrantino is among the richest, most powerful of all Italian wines. That statement alone would believe you to think that it is also one of the most critically praised and beloved of all the country’s wines. But that simply is not the situation. However, thanks to a renewed effort by area producers, Montefalco Sagrantino is enjoying a renaissance, as vintners are crafting more refined offerings that display a new era for this wine and potentially, more attention from critics and consumers alike. The name of the wine derives from the town of Montefalco in central Umbria; Sagrantino is the only variety that can be used to make the wine. This gives the wine a unique identity, much like Barolo that is produced entirely with Nebbiolo, or Brunello di Montalcino, crafted exclusively from Sangiovese. However, as Sagrantino is one of the most tannic varieties in the world - arguably the most tannic of all the major varieties in Italy - this accounts for a problematic image of Montefalco Sagrantino being a wine that is too bitter and rough, a wine that lacks charm and elegance. It’s an image that area producers have battled for years, and now they’re doing something about it. Maturing the wine in large casks known as grandi botti is one way to lessen the tannic identity of the wine, although some producers that use barriques for aging have also found ways to craft more elegant wines.

  • Addendum Regarding: the 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, As Published by the Society of Wine Educators
    Addendum regarding: The 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, as published by the Society of Wine Educators This document outlines the substantive changes to the 2021 Study Guide as compared to the 2020 version of the CSW Study Guide. All page numbers reference the 2020 version. Note: Many of our regional wine maps have been updated. The new maps are available on SWE’s blog, Wine, Wit, and Wisdom, at the following address: http://winewitandwisdomswe.com/wine-spirits- maps/swe-wine-maps-2021/ Page 15: The third paragraph under the heading “TCA” has been updated to read as follows: TCA is highly persistent. If it saturates any part of a winery’s environment (barrels, cardboard boxes, or even the winery’s walls), it can even be transferred into wines that are sealed with screw caps or artificial corks. Thankfully, recent technological breakthroughs have shown promise, and some cork producers are predicting the eradication of cork taint in the next few years. In the meantime, while most industry experts agree that the incidence of cork taint has fallen in recent years, an exact figure has not been agreed upon. Current reports of cork taint vary widely, from a low of 1% to a high of 8% of the bottles produced each year. Page 16: the entry for Geranium fault was updated to read as follows: Geranium fault: An odor resembling crushed geranium leaves (which can be overwhelming); normally caused by the metabolism of sorbic acid (derived from potassium sorbate, a preservative) via lactic acid bacteria (as used for malolactic fermentation) Page 22: the entry under the heading “clone” was updated to read as follows: In commercial viticulture, virtually all grape varieties are reproduced via vegetative propagation.

  • Scacciadiavoli Montefalco Sagrantino Passito Tech Sheet
    Scacciadiavoli Montefalco Sagrantino Passito COUNTRY ABV Italy 14.5% REGION VARIETALS Wine Umbria Sagrantino Spectator APPELLATION 90 PTS DOCG Montefalco 2012 Sagrantino Passito WINERY Founded in 1884, Cantina Scacciadiavoli, “cast Antonio out the devils”, takes its name from a 19th Galloni century exorcist who lived in the small village 90 PTS bordering the vineyard. He was known to use the wines while performing his exorcist ritual of 2012 ridding poor souls of demons. The estate was built as a complex and modern wine “factory,” which today spans 130 hectares, 35 of which are vineyards. The vines cover a hill in the heart of the Montefalco appellation, divided between the three provinces of Gualdo Cattaneo, Giano dell’Umbria, and Montefalco. The winery consists of four vertical levels built into the hill, allowing for the use of gravity throughout production. The grapes arrive from the vineyards directly at the highest level then move down to the second level by gravity flow to be fermented and vinified in wood or stainless steel vats. The ground and underground floors are used to age the wines. The Pambuffetti family has owned and operated Scacciadiavoli since 1954 and produces annually approximately 250,000 bottles. CULTIVATION In the past the Sagrantino Passito was the only wine produced from the Sagrantino varietal, and TASTING NOTES it was drunk during religious ceremonies in the A great way to end a meal… big red lovers will enjoy villages of the Montefalco area.

  • Montefalco Sagrantino
    Montefalco Sagrantino Appellation: Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG Area of production: Montefalco, Umbria Harvest / Vintage 2012 Number bottles 13.000 Grapes variety: Sagrantino 100% Altitude: 350 mt above sea level Soil Composition: Mixed structure Tonnes of grape per hectare: 6 Tonnes Plant per hectare: 5000 Pruning technique: Spurred Cordon Vinification: Traditional temperature-controlled on skin Fermentation temperature: 27°C Length of Fermentation and Maceration: 15 days Ageing: 16 months barriques and minimum 8 months in bottle Service temperature: 18 ° C Alcoholic content: 14,5 % Tasting notes: Tenuta Alzatura Sagrantino is the chief result from our venture with Sagrantino di Montefalco that was started a few years ago by the Cecchi family. Viticultural activity in the vineyards is tightly focused on the objective of producing wines of the highest quality. Crop thinning, harvesting by hand, and careful selection before de-stemming allow for the vinification of only the finest grapes. The harvest takes place during the second ten days of October, and after a soft pressing, the grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel at a temperature of 30 ºC. In the course of fermentation, pumpings over (remontage) and some “racking and returning” (delestage) are used to increase the chromatic intensity and phenolic complexity of the Sagrantino. After racking and malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in small oak casks for approximately 16 months. Uno has an intense ruby-red color with shades of violet and garnet. The bouquet is refined and complex at the core of which are harmonious aromas of blackberry, plum, vanilla, leather and coffee. On the palate, it is complex and intense, a full bodied wine.
