Fongoli 'Fracanton' Montefalco Sagrantino, Italy 2015
Angelo Fongoli is the forth generation to be making wine at the family estate. Since the early 2010's Angelo changed farming practices to a more diverse farming culture concentrating on biodynamic techniques. Named for Angelo's grandfather, "Fracanton" comes from the oldest vines at Fongoli, planted in 1975 and trained in palmetta. The grapes are destemmed and fermented spontaneously in open-topped clay amphorae without sulfur or temperature control. Maceration is an extended period of 4-5 months with gentle hand punchdowns. The wine is aged in old Slavonian oak botti for around 5 years. It is bottled without fining, filtering or sulfur and aged another year before release.
