The wine-growing vocation of the Montefalco area dates back thousands of years: Pliny the Elder mentions a prized grape called 'Itriola' that was produced in the territories of the present-day municipality of Bevagna. According to some scholars, it could be identified with the Sagrantino grape. In reality, nothing is known for certain about the origin of Sagrantino: some support the autochthonous hypothesis, which would have it obtained by selection from local clones, while most believe it to be a variety imported by some follower of St. Francis of Assisi. The name is said to be related to the Sacraments, from the Latin "sacer" and "sacramentum", as the grape was cultivated by monks who made a passito wine from it for religious rites. In any case, this part of Umbria was and remains strongly suited for the production of excellent wines.Our company, which has been producing wines since 1896, is very attached to tradition, seasonality and the typicality of these products, while not renouncing the use of avant-garde techniques and instruments; in fact, our philosophy is centred on safeguarding the territory and satisfying our customers by guaranteeing a high level of quality. We also produce excellent extra virgin olive oil.
Dettaglio offerta - Destinazione Subasio
A red wine of great polyphenolic richness, the typical expression of a grape variety that is unique on the international scene, Montefalco Sagrantino Dionigi is striking for its great variety of taste sensations. Typically dry, harmonious and velvety, it has aromas of blackberries and blueberries, as well as spices of liquorice, carob and chocolate, black pepper and cinnamon.It isa full-bodied wine with a distinct freshness that accompanies it in its natural longevity.
In keeping with the tradition of our winery's wines, this red wine is also remarkably structured and, after long ageing, its tannic note is soft and elegant, and of course there is no lack of spicy notes derived from ageing in oak. Also recognisable is the small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon contained in it in addition to Sagrantino, Merlot and Sangiovese. Its colour is an intense ruby red with slightly garnet hues.
The blend of Sagrantino, Merlot and Sangiovese makes this wine particularly structured, pleasant and well-balanced. The not-too-long ageing in oak leaves pleasant fruity notes that translate into an intense ruby red colour.
Questo è il vino più antico della produzione Dionigi, si tratta di un Merlot in purezza affinato in grandi botti di rovere per circa 2 anni, ha accompagnato la nostra azienda fin dalla nascita, il suo nome è il “soprannome” che aveva la famiglia Dionigi e viene dal nome di Gabriele Dionigi, il fondatore di questa azienda nel lontano 1896.È molto strutturato con un’alcolicità importante ma nello stesso tempo morbido e avvolgente, quasi un vino da meditazione.
Pure Grechetto produced using the cryomaceration method, which allows for a greater extraction of aromatic substances. Temperature control during fermentation at 15°C for 20/25 days is also fundamental.This iswhy the wine is pleasantly fruity and floral.
Grechetto in purezza che dopo la fermentazione fa un passaggio in tonneau da 500 litri per circa 6 mesi, particolari tonneau sui quali viene usato solo del vapore per la modellazione del legno, così al vino viene trasferito solo il sapore del legno e non della tostatura a fuoco tipica dei legni usati per i rossi.
