Grechetto 'Fiorfiore' Roccafiore 2023

"Fiorfiore" is a Grechetto from Todi with a warm and soft character that stands out as the most symbolic white wine of the winery. After resting in large oak barrels for a year, it displays a rich and layered aromatic profile of tropical fruit, citrus, aromatic herbs, and chamomile. On the palate, it is enveloping and sumptuous, with persistent freshness and minerality.

GRECHETTO 'FIORFIORE' ROCCAFIORE 2023 DESCRIPTION

"FiorFiore" is born on the green hills surrounding the municipality of Todi from vines cultivated according to the Guyot system. The grapes, cultivated according to the principles of organic farming, are harvested and manually selected towards the end of September. After mechanical pressing and decantation, the must is fermented at controlled temperature with natural yeasts in steel tanks. It then undergoes a maturation period in large Slavonian oak barrels of 50hl for about a year. An additional bottle aging of 4 months determines its market release.

The Grechetto Roccafiore presents itself with a deep yellow color with hints tending towards gold. It astonishes and impresses with an olfactory profile that has a stratospheric intensity and complexity. A slight spiciness of pepper opens the aromatic spectrum, which then gives way to notes of tropical fruit, nuances of chamomile, hints of citrus, wild fennel, flowers, and balsamic herbs. A slight iodized and briny touch closes the olfactory frame. On the palate, a soft, silky, and dense texture caresses the palate with elegance and class, leaving behind a very long persistence. An excellent freshness balances the warmth and richness of the liquid. An exciting Umbrian portrait.

When to drink
Wine good to drink now, but that can have a beautiful evolution after resting for a while in your cellar
Glass
Medium open goblet
Perfect for young and medium bodied white wines which don't require excessive oxygenation to open. The opening, slightly tighter than the body of the glass, favors the concentration of aromas towards the nose, enhancing the perception of aromas and limiting the dispersion
Longevity
You can let it rest in the cellar comfortably for 3-4 years
