The vineyard’s average production is 1.25 kg of grapes per plant, equivalent to 8 tons per hectare. The harvest is carried out manually in mid-September, ensuring a careful selection of the grapes and preserving their superior quality.

Vinification:
Fiorfiore pays special attention to the vinification process. After a gentle pressing, the resulting must is naturally decanted to maintain the integrity and purity of the flavors. Spontaneous fermentation then takes place at controlled temperatures in steel tanks, ensuring precise management of the fermentation process.

Fiorfiore Grechetto Roccafiore has also adopted a unique aging method for the Umbria Fiorfiore Grechetto Roccafiore. The wine matures for 12 months in amphorae and large Slavonian oak barrels, allowing for a delicate interaction with the fine lees. This deliberate choice imparts a distinctive structure and complexity to the wine. Notably, during this aging process, the wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation, preserving the freshness and vibrancy of the flavors.

After completing the aging process, Fiorfiore Grechetto Roccafiore is bottled and allowed to rest for at least 6 months in the bottle. This resting period further develops the wine’s complexity and perfects its unique character. It is during this stage that the Umbria Grechetto IGT reaches its full expression, offering an extraordinary sensory experience.

When poured into the glass, Fiorfiore Grechetto Roccafiore captivates with its straw-yellow color and golden highlights, creating an immediate visual appeal.
