Enogastronomia CANTINA DIONIGI

CANTINA DIONIGI Since 1896

The wine-growing vocation of the Montefalco area dates back thousands of years: Pliny the Elder mentions a prized grape called 'Itriola' that was produced in the territories of the present-day municipality of Bevagna. According to some scholars, it could be identified with the Sagrantino grape. In reality, nothing is known for certain about the origin of Sagrantino: some support the autochthonous hypothesis, which would have it obtained by selection from local clones, while most believe it to be a variety imported by some follower of St. Francis of Assisi. The name is said to be related to the Sacraments, from the Latin "sacer" and "sacramentum", as the grape was cultivated by monks who made a passito wine from it for religious rites. In any case, this part of Umbria was and remains strongly suited for the production of excellent wines.Our company, which has been producing wines since 1896, is very attached to tradition, seasonality and the typicality of these products, while not renouncing the use of avant-garde techniques and instruments; in fact, our philosophy is centred on safeguarding the territory and satisfying our customers by guaranteeing a high level of quality. We also produce excellent extra virgin olive oil.
