The color is deep, impenetrable ruby red; the texture is remarkable.
The nose is rich: blackberry, fig and dried apricot jam, candied orange peel, balsamic and empyreumatic notes, vanilla, cinnamon, bitter cocoa, coffee.
The contrast between sweetness and tannicity fully represents Montefalco’s age-old winemaking tradition. The wine is balanced, persistent, and full-bodied.
Very long, harmonious and not cloying.
For Semèle we hand-select 18 percent of the grapes from our vineyards. Sagrantino grapes are dried on racks in an environment where we recreate the temperature, humidity and ventilation conditions of the best six vintages of the last 40 years. Fermentation is carried out on the skins at controlled temperature, long aging in oak barrels and very long aging in 0.375-liter bottles.

The farm has 55 hectares of land of which 30 hectares are planted with vines: Sagrantino, Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet, Sauvignon and Grechetto.

The soils are of lacustrine origin, having been the basin of the ancient Lake Tiberino: this makes them particularly suitable for the cultivation of vines and Sagrantino in particular.

The company’s mission is to offer products of the highest quality while respecting true Umbrian tradition and the environment.

Thanks to technology and georeferencing combined with the study of weather variations, we are able to avoid the abuse of chemistry: the product we get from it is truly natural, beyond certification.

Three or four mechanical earthworks are done each season to keep the vineyard clean of wild weeds, while near the vines the work is finished with a hoe.

Grapes are harvested by hand in boxes of only 30 kg to prevent berry breakage and thus harmful pre-fermentation.

The winery was entirely designed and built by us: we identified technological solutions that allow us not to use synthetic chemistry.
