Montefalco Rosso Riserva DOC, this red wine from the territory offered here by Cantina Fratelli Pardi is made from a blend of three grape varieties: 70% Sangiovese, the undisputed prince of central Italy, 20% Sagrantino, the most representative grape variety of Umbria, and 10% Montepulciano grapes. It is hard to imagine a blend more representative of tradition than this. Harvesting, strictly by hand, begins in mid-September and continues until the beginning of October. Once in the cellar, the grapes undergo a period of maceration on the skins lasting about 10 days, followed by alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. At the end of the transformation, the wine is then passed into 26-hectolitre barrels made of French and Slovenian oak. This phase takes about 18 months, followed by at least another 9 months in stainless steel. Only then is the wine ready to be bottled. Ruby red, it offers a beautiful expressive originality on the nose. It has a decidedly Mediterranean character, with notes of flowers and red fruits. In the mouth, however, it has a welcoming impact and an important but refined tannic texture. Long and pleasant is also the finish, which is rich in mineral nuances. A fabulous wine for the whole meal, this Umbrian red requires a tasty pairing. Excellent with roast pork with potatoes.
