Cocre - Romanelli

The name of the Montefalco Sagrantino Passito "Cocré" recalls a custom as old as it is familiar: it is that aghino used to make lace, a special processing of yarn that results in a light, ornate fabric. The one that, by tradition, our grandmothers used to sew in winter in front of the fireplace. Among the oldest wines of the area, Sagrantino Passito is a sweet wine, the result of a patient drying of the grapes on special racks, intended for the most important holidays and celebrations. A wine that comes from our Colle San Clemente vineyards whose grapes, after the harvest, are left to dry naturally for almost 2 months. Vinification is traditional: left to macerate on the skins for 6-8 weeks, it matures for over 3 years in both steel and glass.

It presents itself to the eye with a dark ruby red color. The nose expresses deep, enveloping notes of jammy fruit of blackberries, cherries and strawberries, as well as fascinating spicy and balsamic hints. It is a sweet, dragging, fresh wine well supported by a tannic texture of particular vigor. Of great persistence.
