Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG 2018

L'azienda Tenuta Rocca di Fabbri was founded in 1984 on the initiative of Pietro Vitali, who during his long experience in the world of'antiques had grasped the profound connection between artistic beauty, harmony of the landscape and the wine and food traditions of the area. He identified in the area of Montefalco, the'ancient cradle of vine cultivation and winemaking, practices introduced by the French Benedictines, but then lost after the mid '500s. It was precisely here that he wanted to replant vines with special cultivation methods, in order to obtain wines that had the fragrance of the scents of this land and the'elegance of Gozzoli's paintings. The'winery covers about 60 hectares entirely planted with vines, the strategy of'the company strongly focuses on the production of Sagrantino, Montefalco Rosso and Colli Martani Grechetto. Annual production is about 150,000 bottles. Rocca di Fabbri has the privilege of making wine exclusively from grapes produced in the company's vineyards: grapes that can be processed as soon as they are picked thanks to the'union between vineyard and winery. For red wines and in particular for Sagrantino, the aim is to produce well-ripened grapes capable of expressing good structure. That is, the aim is to obtain sweet and not too astringent skins with complex tannins capable of giving additional roundness to the wine.
