 Description:

Intense ruby ​​red in color with garnet highlights, the nose presents a complex bouquet of ripe red and black fruits—blackberry, black cherry, plum—with notes of spice, black pepper, leather, and an elegant balsamic hint. On the palate, it is powerful and structured, with substantial, well-integrated tannins typical of Sagrantino, supported by a refreshing freshness that lends balance and harmony. The finish is long and persistent, with a return of fruity and spicy notes. Ideal with rich, traditional Umbrian dishes such as stewed wild boar, porchetta, and roast lamb, it also pairs magnificently with aged cheeses, sliced ​​steak with black truffle, grilled meat, and pappardelle with goose sauce.

Roccafiore interprets Sagrantino, a native Umbrian grape, with an approach that enhances its territorial expression. The grapes come from sustainably managed vineyards. After fermentation with natural yeasts in stainless steel, the wine ages for at least 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels, followed by a further period in the bottle. The 2019 vintage, characterized by balanced climate conditions, produced a Sagrantino with great expressiveness and aging potential.
