Montefalco Sagrantino, Collenottolo, Bellafonte - 2015

Tenuta Bellafonte is located in the heart of the primitive part of the region, a stone's throw from the towns of Bevagna and Assisi. It was founded in the mid-2000s by Peter Heilbron, an international executive with a passion for great wines, who decided to convert to a new career, taking his friend the late Gianfranco Soldera of the legendary Case Basse as his model. He fell in love with this terroir and decided to try to tame the Sagrantino grape variety, which is very generous in colour, tannins and alcohol, in order to create a great red wine that is refined and capable of aging gracefully. But his talent does not stop there, as he now produces a range of wines that shines with its accuracy and its fidelity to the local terroir, full of character.
