WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking for Rossofogoli is a testament to Fongoli's commitment to natural practices. Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts in open vats, followed by a relatively short maceration period. The wine is then aged in stainless steel to maintain its freshness and purity. This minimal intervention approach, often with zero added sulfur, ensures that the wine is a direct, unadulterated expression of its Umbrian origin and the Sangiovese and Montepulciano varietals.
