Fracanton

Fracanton is a red wine made with 100% Sagrantino grapes. The grapes are picked up by hand during the second half of October, from a wineyard planted more than 40 years ago and cultivated using the trad suitional linear trellising system. The must is fermented spontaneously using natural yeasts in open amphorae. The temperature is not controlled and no sulphites are added. During the fermentation the must an skins are mixed manually several times a day. The must is kept in contact with the skins after fermentation for up to the three months. The wine is aged in large oak casks from Slavonia for at least three years during which it is  racked and naturally becomes progressively finer and clearer. We only use large casks made of seasoned wood so that the wine evolves while aging but maintains its distinctive character. It is bottled without being filtered or the use of any additional sulphites. Wine Type: Red Wine Wine Denomination: Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG Grape Variety: 100% sagrantino
