CELLAR
The Tenuta Rocca di Fabbri company was founded in 1984 on the initiative of Pietro Vitali, who during his long experience in the world of antiques had grasped the profound link between artistic beauty, harmony of the landscape and food and wine traditions of the territory. He identified in the Montefalco area, the ancient cradle of vine cultivation and winemaking, practices introduced by the French Benedictines, but then lost after the middle of the 500th century. Right here he wanted to replant vines with particular cultivation methods, in order to produce wines that had the fragrance of the perfumes of this land and the elegance of Gozzoli's paintings. The interior of the Rocca, a XNUMXth century fortification, was restored to create the suggestive cellar, and the buildings included within the walls were restored. A new building outside the walls was used for wine making facilities and connected to the winery by a modern tunnel. Read more
