On the palate, it is enveloping and powerful, with a weave of \u003cstrong\u003eelegant tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e balanced by a pleasant acidity. The finish is long and persistent, offering refined notes of \u003cstrong\u003edark chocolate\u003c\/strong\u003e and ripe fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Roccafiore vineyards are located in the province of Perugia, in the heart of the renowned Montefalco region. The rows, trained using the \u003cstrong\u003espurred cordon\u003c\/strong\u003e method with optimal south-west exposure, are managed according to organic farming principles. The roots penetrate \u003cstrong\u003ewhite clay soils\u003c\/strong\u003e enriched with limestone infiltrations, which give the wine a pronounced minerality and a solid structural base. The low yields allow the aromatic profile of the grape variety to be concentrated, fully enhancing the \u003cstrong\u003eidentity of the terroir\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003evegan\u003c\/strong\u003e wine is made from hand-harvested grapes picked in October, followed by gentle pressing and about ten days of maceration on the skins. Spontaneous fermentation, triggered by \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e, takes place in temperature-controlled steel vats and includes malolactic fermentation. The wine then matures for thirty months in large \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, resting for a further six months before release. The bouquet weaves together notes of blackberry, spices, anise and dried mushrooms. It is ideal for accompanying pink meats, soft cheeses and flavourful roasted fish dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in Todi in 2000, Cantina Roccafiore tells the story of Umbria through genuine \u003cstrong\u003eagricultural sustainability\u003c\/strong\u003e.
