AGRICOLA MEVANTE

In the hills of Bevagna, where ancient Mevania once stood, two brothers have made wine their profession. Their cellar, facing east, produces sixty thousand bottles a year, drawing from the Umbrian repertoire: Sagrantino, Grechetto, and Trebbiano mark the boundaries of a work rooted in these slopes. The expression that brings everything together is Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG, the winery's sole denomination, a dense red that thirty-seven months of aging bring to full maturity, and which, in its passito version, reveals another facet of the same grape. Here, terroir is not an image but a daily practice: soil density, row exposure, and slow aging become working rules before they are bottle descriptions. Visitors to the cellar follow precisely this transition, the moment when the geography of these slopes becomes discipline in the glass. It's worth scheduling a visit and exploring the Bevagna cellar to taste Sagrantino in the place that demands it and to understand its true measure, glass in hand.
