Cantina Roccafiore Grechetto Fiorfiore 2024

Cantina Roccafiore Grechetto Fiorfiore 2024 is a distinctive dry white wine from Umbria that showcases the grape’s full character with real precision and depth. Crafted from organically farmed, hand-harvested Grechetto and aged in amphora and large Slavonian oak, it combines freshness, texture, and a marked mineral streak in a way that feels both authentic and refined. The wine also carries notable historical prestige, having earned Tre Bicchieri from Gambero Rosso.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Fiorfiore shows a bright, luminous straw-yellow color that hints at its freshness and richness. The nose is generous and layered, with aromas of pineapple, yellow flowers, sweet spice, and subtle balsamic notes, all lifted by a savory, mineral edge. On the palate, it is enveloping yet vibrant, with a lightly oily texture, firm structure, and a long finish marked by white chocolate, toasted dried fruit, and a saline, spicy nuance. It has the balance and complexity to develop further over time, though it is already expressive and enjoyable now.

Production
The grapes come from the Todi area of Umbria, where Roccafiore’s vineyards benefit from east and southeast exposure and soils rich in calcareous marl, white clay, and gypsum. Farming is carried out according to strict organic and sustainable principles, supporting a healthy local ecosystem and yielding a vegan wine with strong regional identity. Harvest takes place by hand in the second half of September, followed by gentle pressing, natural settling, and spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in steel before maturation for 12 months in amphorae and large Slavonian oak casks on fine lees, without malolactic fermentation, then an additional six months of resting before release.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with soft cheeses, shellfish, seafood risotto, grilled white fish, and delicate white meats such as chicken or veal. Serve it slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, to preserve its freshness while allowing the texture and aromatic complexity to show. Decanting is not essential, but a short aeration can help open up its more savory and mineral notes.
