In fact, even though Sagrantino was granted DOCG status in 1992, it has ancient origins. At the 2017 edition of Enologica, visitors will be able to discover the most important moments in the history of Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG wine and learn about its many facets, thanks to producers, historical memories of Montefalco, cooking shows and vintage wine tasting.
