WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Montefalco Rosso Dionigi 2019 involves a blend of Sangiovese and Sagrantino grapes, adhering to the specific composition requirements of the Montefalco DOC. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation, likely in temperature-controlled vessels. The wine is then aged for a minimum period, with a significant portion of this aging occurring in wooden barrels. This process is designed to develop the wine's structure, complexity, and aromatic profile, culminating in a wine that reflects the characteristics of its origin and grape varietals.
