Cantina Roccafiore
For Leonardo Baccarelli, savouring a glass of wine has always meant the measured enjoyment of a product rich in meaning. From the predilection for the South Tyrolean Schiava, able to combine finesse and levity, came the desire to replicate this sense of poise in Umbria. The project was started towards the end of the 1990s with the desire to realise a clear vision: bring to life a concept untied in its constituent components – the landscape, climate, vines, tradition – in a perspective that looked towards innovation as a bridge to the future, without falling into nostalgic temptations. The graduality in acting, devoid of uncertainties, has forged a business model upheld by sustainability and the development of the territory.
To achieve excellence, we at Roccafiore firmly adhere to this recipe, safe in the knowledge that continuing to question is the best guarantee of satisfaction, hence why the spirit of always experimenting and improving is continuously renewed. The idea of agricultural and environmental sustainability forms one of the elements in which to entrust in respect of a territory comprised of nature and culture, an environment inhabited by people whose indelible imprint is inscribed in the memory of the land and the people themselves. Respect for the locations is expressed in the exaltation of the unique facets of the native vines that have been grown here for centuries. This requires commitment, technique and knowledge, resulting in the production of wines bearing an unmistakable style and identity, in which the bold choices, patience and attention are distilled. This is to underline that Roccafiore does not pursue innovation as means to an end but rather as the realisation of visions and objectives that Leonardo and Luca seek to faithfully convey in their wines.

Aromas of pineapple, golden apple, and yellow flowers, alongside delicate sweet spice notes, precede an enveloping, fresh, and savory palate with a creamy texture and minerality. Elegant and complex, it reaches its peak 3 to 4 years after the harvest.
