Photographer's Note

Sagrantino di Montefalco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sagrantino di Montefalco are Italian wines made with 100% Sagrantino grapes in the Province of Perugia, although not necessarily in the comune of Montefalco. The wines include Montefalco Sagrantino secco, a dry DOCG red wine and Montefalco Sagrantino passito, a sweet DOCG red wine.
For a long time, the Sagrantino grape variety was only used for Montefalco Sagrantino passito or to fortify mixed wines. In recent years, producers such as Arnaldo Caprai have started to use it unblended.
Under Italian law, the term "Montefalco Sagrantino Secco" defines a wine obtained exclusively from Sagrantino grapes, produced exclusively in the Province of Perugia, in the Umbria region of central Italy (although not necessarily in the comune of Montefalco). The word "secco" in the name is Italian for "dry". The wine is aged for 30 months, of which at least 12 months must be in oak barrels. The wine is a DOCG, the highest-ranking category of Italian wine denominations. The Montefalco Sagrantino secco has excellent storage characteristics.

Very impressive this beautifully lit landscape composition. Nicely composed with an interesting juxtaposition between the two trees. Lovely range of contrasting tones.

Hi Silvio
stunning shot! A palette of rich colours all captured and presented artistically. This is a marvellous image and needs to be framed and hanging on a gallery wall for all to admire. Love it!

Enjoy your weekend - Brian.

A grand colorful carpet over the Umbria hills. The white house gave good scale and contrast to the other colors on picture space.
Buona sabato,

Ciao Silvio,
magnifici i colori autunnali e superbe le ondulazioni del paesaggio. Il fascino di tutti e due e' esaltato dalla tua stupenda composizione, inquadratura ed illuminazione. Hai catturato la qualita' caratteristica della luce di questo periodo meravigliosamente. La gestione dei contrasti fu efficacissima. Un' immagine incantevole, complimenti e grazie!
Tanti saluti e buona domenica,
Ourania

This looks almost like pointillist art, Silvio, composed of dots of paint more than crops and color captures by a lens. The clear divisions in the different parts of the field combined with the green of the trees and the hazy appearance of the far hill make this an interesting, layered shot. Good eye and good framing.

Andrew

Ciao caro Silvio,

A very interesting note about Sagrantino grapes and wines - I am sure that I have tasted them in the past - and a glorious photograph from Montefalco.

Again, you have produced a wonderfully "graphic" image with beautiful soft sweeping lines of composition and delightful colour and shades enhanced by the low oblique sunlight. The exposure is perfect and the details and clarity superb.

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

bayno (18348) 2012-11-18 9:41

Ciao Silvio, molto bella la luce e le ombre lunghe, i colori e la grafica dei vigneti sono fantastici...intervallati da quel giallo intenso...un vero tripudio per un tifoso della roma come me...
buona serata...

Ciao Silvio,
I love your photos of Italian fields - they look more like exotic carpets than countryside landscape. Amazing colors and everything put together in such an elegant and professional way.
Thanks for sharing all your work
