Sagrantino

The Sagrantino Foglio 11 by Fattoria Calcabrina is a testament to the winery’s dedication to producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of Umbria. The Sagrantino grapes are cultivated in calcareous clay soils, which contribute to the wine’s structure and complexity. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with native yeasts, followed by aging in oak barrels for 24 months. This meticulous process results in a wine with firm tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, savory finish. Fattoria Calcabrina’s commitment to organic/biodynamic farming and traditional winemaking techniques ensures that each bottle of Sagrantino Foglio 11 is a true representation of the region’s rich viticultural heritage.

Calcabrina

Diego lives in the hills of Montefalco, in the heart of Umbria. After finishing his university studies, he quickly understood that a life behind a desk wasn’t for him. He left behind his degree in accounting and returned to the land—working alongside his father, Angelo, to build something that felt real.
The farm started with goats and a few old vines, and has grown slowly, without ever losing its scale or spirit. They work just a couple of hectares, organically and with biodynamic principles, using natural compost from their animals and doing everything by hand. In the cellar, Diego keeps things as simple as possible: spontaneous fermentations, no filtration, no added sulfites. Each wine is made in tiny quantities and reflects a very personal approach—intuitive, physical, and deeply tied to the land he chose to come back to.
