Feels like Spring has already sprung (even if we get some rain this month), so we thought a simple, refreshing red might be in order. These days there seems to be a demand for reds that can be chilled and who are we to argue? We think this carefully crafted red from Umbria would be an ideal candidate, but it doesn’t have to be chilled to reveal itself.
Roccafiore is a beautiful estate that has been built to emphasize biodiversity, sustainability and organic farming. Rainwater catchment systems, 100% solar power, gravity flow systems in the winery and diversity of crops (hazelnuts, cherries, olives, grains etc.) help to achieve this.

This is a wine to slurp with a plate of charcuterie, soft cheeses, pizza and tomato-based pastas. Not a wine to overpower the senses, but a lovely example of a great versatile everyday red that is not ashamed of its lightness of being…
