The production zone extends across gently sloping terrain ranging from 220 to 472 metres above sea level, with varying aspect and gradient across the individual vineyard parcels.
The climate of the town of Montefalco and the surrounding hills is continental in character.
The grape-growing zone encompasses the vineyards in the commune of Montefalco and in part those of the communes of Bevagna, Castel Ritaldi, Giano dell'Umbria, and Gualdo Cattaneo in the province of Perugia. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
Human factors
The cultivation of Sagrantino in Montefalco is documented from 1549, with an earlier reference also cited in connection with an order for must placed by a merchant from Trevi.
The character of these wines also derives from the work of the grower, whose commitment and experience make it possible to produce wines of great interest and considerable longevity.
