Rossofongoli is a 60% Sangiovese and 40% Montepulciano blend from Fongoli's estate in the Montefalco area of Umbria, bottled as an Umbria IGT. The grapes are grown on clay-limestone soils high in active limestone, with vines planted in 1993 at 300–450 meters elevation. No synthetic chemicals are used in the vineyard; farming follows biodynamic principles certified by Ecocert since 2011.
Harvest is done by hand in September. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in open-top stainless steel tanks without temperature control. The must macerates on the skins for approximately 10 days with manual pump-overs three times daily, followed by soft pressing with a horizontal membrane press. The wine is then racked in stainless steel and bottled in spring after harvest without fining, filtration, or addition of sulfur dioxide.
The result is a ruby red wine, clear and bright, with a fruity and lightly earthy bouquet. It sits at 11.5% ABV, making it a lighter, freshly structured red with vibrant acidity. Three months of bottle aging round out the wine before release.
