Montefalco Rosso Riserva Antonelli, is a traditional red wine made only in the best vintages from Sangiovese and Sagrantino grapes. Special importance and attention must be given to this wine, which together with the Antonelli Winery represents a true point of reference for the area's wine sector. It is a product that has contributed the most to the appreciation and understanding of Umbrian wines in Italy and throughout the world.

The grapes are harvested manually during the coolest hours of the day, usually starting with the Sangiovese in late September and finishing with the Sagrantino in October. Once in the winery, the two varieties are vinified separately. They are dropped by gravity into stainless steel maceration tanks, fermentation starts with maceration on the skins, which lasts approx. 3-4 weeks.

The varieties are blended so that it can be matured first for 6 months in tonneaux, then 12 months in large oak barrels, 6 months in cement vats and after bottling the last 12 months to complete the ageing process.

In the glass it has an intense ruby red colour. The nose expresses aromas of red berry fruits, ripe cherries, soft hints of spices, nuances of underbrush and delicate smoky sensations. In the mouth it is structured with well-presented and ripe tannins, full-bodied with a harmonious and very persistent finish.

Definitely a wine that can entertain an entire meal, it goes well with rich and tasty traditional first courses, especially with meat or game sauces, roasts or barbecued meats. Also try it with cured meats and well-aged cheeses.
