Tenuta Bellafonte

Montefalco Sagrantino from Umbria's volcanic heart.

Tenuta Bellafonte produces wines in Montefalco, a region of Umbria in central Italy renowned for its distinctive red varieties. The winery's portfolio centers on Sagrantino, the area's signature grape—a dark-skinned variety that yields structured, age-worthy wines with notable tannin presence. Collenottolo Montefalco Sagrantino and Montefalco Sagrantino represent the winery's expression of this varietal, while Pomontino Montefalco Rosso blends Sangiovese into the regional framework. All three wines have been assessed by major critics including Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Wine Advocate. The Collenottolo bottling stands as the highest-rated expression across these evaluations. Montefalco's volcanic and limestone soils, combined with the area's continental climate, create conditions suited to producing wines of depth and complexity. Tenuta Bellafonte's focus on these traditional grapes reflects the terroir-driven character of the region.
