Montefalco Rosso Riserva wine is produced in the estate of Adanti Winery, which manages about thirty hectares divided into various plots cultivated in the hilly areas near Arquata and Colcimino. It is an important label, which comes from a careful selection of the best Sangiovese grapes, with a small part of Merlot, which gives richness and fruity roundness and Sagrantino, which brings structure and tannins. The vineyards are cultivated in the territory of the municipality of Bevagna with south-east exposure, at an altitude of 230 meters above sea level. The cool and continental climate and the soils of mainly clay matrix, with sandy components, have proved perfect for red berried varieties. The manual harvests follow the ripening periods of the various grapes, which are vinified separately. At the end of the destemming-crushing process, the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28 ºC, with maceration on the skins for 21-28 days, accompanied by daily pumping over and délestage. It ages for at least 30 months in Slavonian oak barrels before bottling and ends with a year in the cellar before being put on sale.
