Sagrantino Wine Festival

Maybe it can be interesting is you're coming to Italy on September.
In Umbria, in the cute small hil town Montefalco, from Thursday 18 until Sunday 21 there is the Sagrantino WIne Festival.
A very lovely and smart way to know more and better about this wine and taste it in a guided way English speaking.
Anyway, Montefalco and the close Bevagna, deserve a visit.
Ciao.
Vincenzo.

Thanks for the invitation, Vincenzo, and welcome to the forum! I am glad we got that user name problem straightened out!

Many of us are great fans of Umbria, and I'm sure when Paulo Faustini sees this discussion he will have something to say, as he has often toured there.

I’ll be there to try the new 2005 Sagrantino di Montefalco. There are guided tastings in English of the Sagrantino di Montefalco 2005 on Friday (5pm), Saturday (5pm) and Sunday (midday) for anyone who is interested and happens to be in the area. There is also a bicycle ride though the vineyards with tastings leaving at 9am –always a great way to see the area. You can find the entire programme here http://www.settimanaenologica.it/XXIX%20SETTIMANA%20ENOLOGICA.pdf –in Italian only I am afraid. I'll let you know how it goes!

I am leaving in few minutes and I hope to arrive to Montefalco for dinner time (maybe too late, I know).
I will write about it on Sunday night.
Prosit.
