The Cellar: In Sagrantino Umbria, it was in 1984 that the antiques entrepreneur Pietro Vitali decided to found his agricultural business, “Tenuta Rocca di Fabbri” in Montefalco. By recovering an ancient 14th century fortification, inside which an evocative cellar was built, a new building suitable for winemaking was built not far from the fortress itself, to which it is connected via a modern tunnel. Located in the eastern sector of the Montefalco area, the company vineyards branch out on a gentle hill, with variable exposures and microclimatic conditions. Between the rows, following rigorous agronomic standards, the balance of the environment, nature, ecosystem and biodiversity is respected to the maximum, so that during the harvest phase we are able to harvest complex, valuable and rich grapes, as well as healthy and genuine ones. . From the vineyard to the cellar the philosophy followed does not change, and starting from an excellent raw material, the hand of man has the task of enhancing and valorising everything the territory and the season have been able to express in the fruit. Modern oenological technologies are placed at the service of the most ancient local traditions, so that each working step is carried out in more than optimal conditions. In other words, each phase of the production process is conducted with great attention to sustainability, according to the maximum possible balance . And balance and elegance are found in the entire range of Rocca di Fabbri wines, which excellently integrate all the multiple components responsible for the complexity and sumptuousness found in the wines themselves.
