Montefalco, a charming medieval village in the heart of Umbria, is home to fine, robust wines that have captivated enthusiasts from around the world, making the area an essential destination for wine tourism.
The undisputed king of the area is Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG, a red from a native grape variety whose origins date back to medieval monks. Characterized by a deep ruby color, complex aromas of red fruits, spices, tobacco and chocolate, it stands out on the palate for a powerful and tannic structure that makes it ideal for aging and perfect in combination with grilled meats, game and stewed wild boar.
The Montefalco Rosso DOC is softer and more balanced, born from the blend of Sangiovese and Sagrantino with other local varieties; a versatile and brilliant wine with fruity aromas, ideal for pairing cured meats, first courses with ragù, and roasts.
The winemaking story concludes with Grechetto dei Colli Martani, a native white wine with great personality, fresh and mineral, which enhances appetizers, white meats and light risottos.
Living Montefalco means immersing yourself in slow tourism experiences among historic wineries, guided tours, and panoramic tastings, especially during events like the Settembre Montefalchese, where peasant culture and passion transform every sip into an unforgettable sensory journey.
