The only wine not belonging to the main theme of the evening has been Lungarotti Brut Metodo Classico 2009, with which the event has been started, among the very first classic method sparkling wines made in Umbria. It is then the turn of the other wines - all red and all produced with Sagrantino grape, in part or alone - beginning from Rosso di Montefalco 2009, made from Sangiovese, Merlot and Sagrantino grapes, a wine introducing the characteristics of the territofy of Montefalco. Sagrantino is also the protagonist of Toralco 2009, in which the famous red from Montefalco joins Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, giving a wine of strong personality in which each grape has its own expression. Among the most appreciated wines of the evening, the two Sagrantino wines produced by Lungarotti winery. Sagrantino di Montefalco 2008, aged in barrique, with its typical robust and powerful body, fills the glass - after five years - with round tannins and a blackberry aroma, among the identifying qualities of Sagrantino grape. The event ended with the wine emblem of the tradition of Montefalco wine making - Sagrantino Passito 2008 - among the few sweet wines produced with red berried grapes, an amazing wine for its peculiar astringency joined to body and sweetness.
