Fongoli is an historic Montefalco estate dating from the early 1900s when Decio Fongoli began farming grapes and olives alongside the breeding of pigs and cattle. Since 1999 the estate has been run by Decio's great-grandson Angelo who follow the traditional approach of ageing in large oak barrels, vinifying with indigenous yeasts, and working with local Umbrian varieties including Sagrantino and Trebbiano Spoletino. Today the property - managed entirely along biodynamics principles - extends for about 35 hectares, of which 23 are vineyards, with the rest made up of olive groves, woods, truffle grounds and meadows.
Fragrant, thirst-quenching natural rosato made from 100% Sagrantino from which only the free-run juice was used. Savoury, vinous aromas of wet leaves, strawberry, pomegranate and exotic fruits. Sapid, mineral and mouth-watering on the palate with generous fruit and touches of white pepper and amaro. Unfined, unfiltered and zero sulphur.
