Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG O’ di Colpetrone 2018

"O' di Còlpetrone" is a red wine produced by the Colpetrone estate, owned by the Tenute del Cerro group, located in the Montefalco region of Umbria. The harvest takes place at the end of September. Fermentation takes place in steel vats at a controlled temperature (maximum 28°C). During fermentation, daily pumping over is carried out to facilitate the extraction of colour and tannins from the skins. At the end of alcoholic fermentation, maceration continues at a higher temperature (32°C) for a few days, in order to optimise polyphenolic extraction. After racking, the wine is transferred to French oak barriques, where malolactic fermentation takes place. The aging in wood lasts 12 months, followed by at least 6 months of aging in bottle before being released for sale.
