NOTES FROM OUR SOMMELIERS
👁 a beautiful deep and luminous ruby red;👃🏻 on the nose it expresses a fruity bouquet (black cherry, blackberry and cherry), of black cherry juice and red fruit jam, followed by light spicy notes, leather and undergrowth;
👄 on the palate it enters warm and powerful, with well integrated tannins and a persistent spicy finish.
FOOD PAIRINGS
This blend of Sagrantino, Montepulciano, Sangiovese and Merlot guarantees the wine structure, alcohol, tannin, persistence, intensity and freshness.
For this reason it is recommended in combination with dishes based on red meats (grilled or roasted), with savory first courses such as tagliatelle, risotto or ravioli. In particular, it's perfect with baked pheasant or pappardelle with wild boar ragout.

ORIGIN
TERROIR
The winery, strictly family-run, is located on the hills of Montefalco, in the green heart of the green heart of Italy, south of Perugia. A beautiful location, three hundred meters above sea level, on the hillside that kisses the horizon of Trevi and Spoleto. Here the native Umbrian variety par excellence is grown: the Sagrantino. The production area is included in an altitude range between 220 m and 470 m and shows essentially Mediterranean characteristics, with hot but not sultry summers and fairly cold and fairly rainy winters.
The average summer temperatures are 18-23° C while the winter temperatures are 4-6° C. All these elements ensure that the area has a sub-continental temperate climate. The slope of the vineyard plots and the general exposure is variable, so much so as to create a wide range of microclimates and cultivation conditions. The soils are of clear clayey-limestone matrix, sometimes deeper and sometimes lighter.
WINERY
Since my first steps in the enological world, Umbrian wines have exercised a seductive charm. As in all of central Italy, in Umbria winemaking began with the Etruscan presence and starting from the nineteenth century intensive and specialized viticulture began. Especially known for its red wines, Umbria has inextricably linked its name to wine production in the areas of Montefalco and Torgiano. And the name of the Napolini winery was quick to impress itself well in my memory, supported by the high quality level of the wines produced. The family-run company is located on the hills of Montefalco, in the green heart of the green heart of Italy, forty kilometers south of Perugia. An enviable position, three hundred meters above sea level, on the hillside that kisses the horizon of Trevi and Spoleto. The cellar memory album has a succession similar to that of many others: the production of bulk wine, which began in the fifties and marked by the creation of products for everyday use, gave way in the early 2000s to that of bottled wines. Blessed was the decision! Napolini wines are appreciated for their genuineness and longevity and every wine lover should try them at least once in their life, to understand in a short time that drinking a glass is experiencing the essence not only of a wine but of the whole territory.
