Roccafiore Prova d'Autora Rosso IGT 2020

Prova d’Autore – A powerful and harmonious red wine from Umbria

An exquisite blend of 30% Sagrantino, 30% Montepulciano, and 40% Sangiovese with large grapes, all grown sustainably on chalky and clay-rich soil in Todi.

The vineyards, planted in 1999, have a northeast exposure, and the low yield of only 1 kg of grapes per vine ensures an intense and concentrated wine.

The wine presents a beautiful garnet red color with ruby highlights.

The aroma is complex with notes of ripe plums, red berries, sweet spices, tobacco, and licorice. The taste is structured and powerful with a soft, velvety texture and a lasting harmonious finish.

The grapes are harvested and vinified separately depending on their optimal ripeness. After destemming and pressing, they undergo a long skin maceration of 22-24 days, followed by fermentation with natural yeast in temperature-controlled steel tanks. Subsequently, the wine is aged for 24 months in neutral Slavonian oak barrels and French barriques, before being blended and bottle-aged for at least six months to achieve balance and depth.

Prova d’Autore is a wine with great character and complexity, making it the perfect choice for hearty dishes such as braised lamb, game, or aged cheeses.
