DESCRIPTION OF THE SOMMELIER
Montefalco Rosso Perticaia is an expression of Guido Guardigli's ability to become in a few years a symbol of quality and competence in Umbrian enology. The name of the winery derives from the Umbrian dialect word with which it was called the plow, the symbolic tool of man's revolution that took place at the time of the transition from nomadic farming to sedentary agriculture.

Thus a unique and indissoluble relationship was created between the land and those who work it, dedicating his life to it. And it is precisely this to which Guido Guardigli has dedicated his business, a reality that respects traditional teachings, turning to the future in the constant search for quality. The logo shown on the label, a crossed double P, comes from the union of the initials of the words "Progetto Perticaia", or, as we like to think in the cellar, the two P's could belong to the words "Think Positive".

It is with this philosophy that Montefalco Rosso Perticaia is born, a splendid red wine born from a blend with a prevalence of Sangiovese and equal percentages of Sagrantino and Colorino that boldly unveils a rich and multifaceted olfactory profile, which plays on the balance of spicy and desserts. In tasting it is capable of surprising with a very pleasant, perfectly balanced body, in which the grapes, grown on the southern side of the Montefalco appellation, dominate the gustatory scene. A ruby ​​nectar that offers a moment of fresh harmony.
