HOME   |   TERRE DELL’ABATE – LA GAITA DEL FALCO   |   FALCO SPALLE ROSSE – PGI UMBRIA RED

This wine is a blend of our red grape varieties, Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet and Nobile vitigno Autoctono, making for a balanced, deep, bright red wine with purplish highlights. Its nose is spicy with pronounced red fruit. In the mouth it is elegant and mouth-filling, redolent of red fruit jam, with soft tannins and a delicate finish.

CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE

Vine fields are located at an altitude of 300 m in close proximity but with different exposures. Vines are grown according to the guyot method with a density of 4000 plants per hectare and an average production yield of 10 tons/ha.

VINIFICATION

This phase is fundamental for the production of this wine as all techniques are used to extract as much as possible of the fruit with as little of its tannins as possible. This is why a part of the grape harvest is thermovinified. Fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel vats.

AGEING

One month in cement for slight micro-oxygenation and one month in the bottle.

SERVING TEMPERATURE

16°

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Highly versatile and drinkable. The perfect accompaniment to charcuterie and medium aged cheese starters, first courses with meat or game sauce, char-grilled red meat or red meat in tomato sauce.
