Brilliant and intense ruby red color. Tones of ripe plums, small red fruits. Notes of sweet spices. Pleasant taste, flowing and fresh, with soft and elegant tannins. The Rosso is a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, Sagrantino, and Cabernet Sauvignon, with a juicy, fruit-forward profile, yet balanced by acidity with some tannic structure. It’s a fantastic and versatile food wine.

Cantina Roccafiore farms in the rolling hills of the Umbrian countryside near the town of Todi. The Baccarelli family (father and son) bought the property in 1999, planted the local Grechetto and Sangiovese and made their first vintage in 2005.

Formerly in the energy business, they kept a mind toward sustainability from the beginning, building a renewable facility, using organic fuels for their tractors, and farming organically.
