L'Altrobianco 2023

Description

Umbrian still white wine, 13% ABV, produced by Cantina Roccafiore. A Trebbiano made from grapes grown in Umbria, with a winemaking process that respects the varietal's character. The grapes are delicately pressed and the resulting must settles naturally. Spontaneous fermentation occurs in 320-liter terracotta amphorae. Aged for 12 months in terracotta amphorae in contact with the fine lees, malolactic fermentation is not performed, and after bottling, it rests for a minimum of 6 months in the bottle. A bouquet of yellow flowers, pleasant notes of pink grapefruit and green apple. Dry and savory, with a delightful freshness and supported by good minerality and a persistent finish.

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.
