Dedicated to Donna Plautilla A. ancestor of our family who lived in the second half of the eighteenth century (1759-1809) and dedicated to all the women of Montefalco, the true guardians of the Sagrantino Passito tradition. The women were entrusted with the task of detaching the Sagrantino grapes from the stalks, the “sbacatura” for the subsequent vinification and it was a job that was done by the fire after dinner, in the cold evenings of late autumn. Images of true poetry for a wine that is itself poetry. The harvest of Sagrantino destined for drying takes place in the first days of October and is very meticulous. The clusters are treated with extreme care because they absolutely must not break, they are placed in small boxes whose bottom is covered with a layer of vine leaves (vine leaves). Only suitable bunches are harvested, those with the most sparse berries that can better withstand the long drying period on the “Camorcanne”, racks where the bunches are placed side by side, without overlapping. The drying can last even more than two months, depending on the weather conditions. Once the right sugar content is reached, the vinification is the same as for other wines: temperature control, frequent pumping over, racking, soft pressing and racking. The final wine yield is very low, only 35% of the initial quantity of grapes. Unlike the Rosso and the dry Sagrantino it does not age in wood, but in steel barrels for a period of thirty-six months. Then follows the refinement in the bottle. The bottles produced are all numbered by hand.
