And this is reflected in the statistics that define the production area: from the few hectares to the previous vineyard, the area has grown to the current 600 hectares only for the two main denominations of red ( Sagratino di Montefalco and Rosso di Montefalco ), to which must be added the white wines based mainly on the local grape, Grechetto , and also the various non-denominations of reds and whites. Even small properties, however, helped to write this story, and one of the indisputable leaders is the Bocale estate of the Valentini family , who arrived in Montefalco in the 1920s and immediately dedicated himself to what, at the time, was the only activity profitable for the town, agriculture. A fact that is reflected in the name of the estate: “Boccale” which was used to measure both wine and oil, the two main harvests of this part, and not only this part, of Umbria . The decisive step for the Valentini family came in 2002, when the estate was founded as a commercial activity and began to bottle the wines produced from its own grapes. The hectares are limited, something like 5.5 hectares of vineyards, but almost a century of work has naturally given the family a full knowledge of how to bring the harvest to complete maturity.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-07-25T12:17:04-04:00","created_at":"2023-07-21T06:53:16-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","NK2007","Other_Wine","Producer_Bocale","Region_Umbria","Source_Hedonism0723","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Sagrantino","Varietal_Sangiovese"],"price":26895,"price_min":26895,"price_max":26895,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43045549834378,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2018 | Bocale | Montefalco Sagrantino","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":26895,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/46_c6227280-8b4a-496f-b3a1-d9248f6ac297.jpg?v=1689936878"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/46_c6227280-8b4a-496f-b3a1-d9248f6ac297.jpg?v=1689936878","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2018 | Bocale | Montefalco Sagrantino at CaskCartel.com","id":24825177768074,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"width":600,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/46_c6227280-8b4a-496f-b3a1-d9248f6ac297.jpg?v=1689936878"},"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/46_c6227280-8b4a-496f-b3a1-d9248f6ac297.jpg?v=1689936878","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2018 | Bocale | Montefalco Sagrantino\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDusty on the nose, the 2018 vintage shows concentration and character with notes of dark plums, blackberries and hints of caramel.
