Sagrantino Wine and Truffles Tour
March and December 2022
Umbria, the green heart of Italy is a treasure trove for art lovers and connoisseurs. Amidst small medieval villages of untouched charm such as Montefalco, Gualdo Cattaneo, Bevagna, the Sagrantino Wine Road winds its way. The grape variety Sagrantino and the wine of the same name have been inseparably linked to Montefalco for at least 800 years. This means that both have become symbols of the identity of a territory and a community. This vine also characterises the landscape within the 13th century walls of Montefalco, where it grows in tiny vineyards in the centre of the town. The Sagrantino is now a must on every prestigious wine list.
Also connected to the terroir of this area is the truffle. It makes this land a paradise for gourmets. The coveted black truffle grows from December to March. In the middle of centuries-old forests we will search for the precious tubers together with an experienced truffle hunter and their faithful dogs. We promise that you will be taken to the heart of an ancient tradition that has remained unchanged over the centuries.
