Cantina Roccafiore L'Altrobianco 2023

Cantina Roccafiore L'Altrobianco 2023 is a bright, characterful white from the rolling hills of Umbria, crafted entirely from Trebbiano. It’s a modern, fresh expression of a historic Italian grape, made with a clear focus on purity, drinkability, and a strong sense of place. This is the kind of everyday premium white that over‑delivers on personality, aromatics, and finesse.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, L'Altrobianco 2023 shows a pale straw to light lemon color with youthful, greenish reflections that hint at its freshness. The nose is immediately inviting, with notes of citrus (lemon, grapefruit zest), crisp green apple, white peach, and pear, layered with subtle floral tones of acacia and chamomile, plus a touch of almond and wet stone. On the palate, it’s dry, vibrant, and clean, with a medium body and a lively, mouthwatering acidity that keeps everything feeling precise and refreshing. Flavors of lemon, lime, crunchy orchard fruits, and white peach are joined by a gentle herbal edge and a light saline twist on the finish, giving the wine both charm and structure. This is a Trebbiano meant to be enjoyed in its youth for its energy and aromatic lift, but it will comfortably drink well over the next 2–3 years, gaining a bit more roundness and honeyed complexity with short-term cellaring.

Production
Cantina Roccafiore is based in the green heart of Umbria, where vineyards sit on rolling hills with clay and limestone soils that naturally limit yields and enhance mineral tension in the wines. The Trebbiano for L'Altrobianco is typically harvested by hand in the cool hours of the day to preserve aromatic freshness and protect the grapes from oxidation. After careful selection, the grapes are gently pressed, and the must is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks to highlight pure fruit and crisp acidity. The wine is aged briefly on fine lees to add texture and subtle complexity, while avoiding heavy oak, so the natural character of the grape and the Umbrian terroir can shine clearly in the glass.

Food & Serving
L'Altrobianco 2023 is a versatile food wine that pairs beautifully with light, Mediterranean-inspired dishes: think grilled or baked white fish, simple seafood pasta, fresh cheeses, vegetable antipasti, and classic tomato-and-herb bruschetta. It also works well with sushi, salads with citrus-based dressings, and lightly spiced poultry. Serve well-chilled at around 8–10 °C to emphasize its freshness and aromatics. Decanting is not necessary; simply open the bottle a few minutes before serving to let the aromas fully open up.
