Sagrantino Passito di Montefalco is traditionally a meditation wine. It goes well with decidedly mature spicy cheeses, as well as with roasted or grilled red meat dishes. It excels when accompanied by desserts: traditionally it is paired with typical Umbrian tozzetti, but it is also excellent with red fruit tarts and chocolate. Alcoholic degree: 15% Vol.
