Refined & Expressing
This wine, made from gently destemmed and pressed grapes with 10 to 12 days of skin maceration, ferments with wild yeast in stainless steel and undergoes malolactic fermentation. Aged for 24 months in neutral Slavonian oak barrels and refined in the bottle for at least 6 months, it features a brilliant red ruby color. Aromas of ripe plums, red fruits, tobacco, and licorice complement its well-structured, elegant, and clean palate with fine tannins and a strong expression of its grape variety and terroir.
About the Winery
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.
