Sagrantino, an ancient red variety grown only around the hillside town of Montefalco, is an intriguing native that makes both dry and sweet wines of unmistakable grandeur. It has been granted a special DOCG, separate from the DOC Montefalco for lighter red and white wines. This grape, considered by many to be Italy's most tannic varietal, has an unlimited and possibly untapped potential and is producing some of Italy's most impressive and biggest red wines.
