Bocale
The Valentini family has been connected to the City of Montefalco by history and personal experiences for over one hundred years.
The background is the special Umbria Region, full of history and culture, where the act of every farmer is full of folk wisdom, simplicity, passion and sacrifice.
The family’s philosophy is influenced by the history of men working in fields, surrounded by the rare beauty of it’s hilly landscape.
In 2002, the Valentini family continued their tradition by establishing Bocale, a winery in Montefalco. "Bocale" refers to a two-liter mug of wine or olive oil, and it's also the family nickname. Their Montefalco Rosso and Montefalco Sagrantino wines blend innovation with tradition, respecting environmental cycles and handcrafted processes to create natural, personality-filled wines.

Aromatic & Supple
Dry full-bodied polished red with aromas of ripe red fruit, violets, baking spice, and a hint of new leather. Reflecting the nose, the dense, supple palate doles out fleshy morello cherry, raspberry jam, and star anise framed in rounded, fine-grained tannins.

Grape variety: Sagrantino, the native grape variety of this small and special region.
Description: A young grappa. Clear, limpid, crystalline in appearance. On the nose, a perfume of herbs, flowers and fruit (blackberry, currant). On the palate full, round and delicately aromatic with fruit following through into a pleasantly persistent finish.
Serving suggestions: Classic grappa pairings are after-dinner treats like fruit platters and desserts. Grappa can also be a lovely combination with sorbet and chocolates - the latter typically served in chunks. Young grappa will go well with anything almond based, such as almond biscotti, almond tart, or cake and brownies that have a strong almond flavour.
