Where is Cantina Roccafiore located?

The estate is at Localita Collina 110/A in Todi, in the green heart of Umbria. Its 15 hectares of vines face south-east, between 300 and 380 metres above sea level. Perugia is about 30 minutes away by car, and Orvieto about 40.

Which wines is Roccafiore known for?

The flagship is Fiorfiore, a Grechetto di Todi Superiore IGT made from clone G5 grown on white clay and chalky marl. The reds are led by Melograno, a Sangiovese IGT, with Rosso il Roccafiore, Prova d'Autore and Collina d'Oro. Montefalco Rosso and Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG come from a separate parcel further south. Fiordaliso, L'Altrobianco and the Roccafiore Rosato make up the lighter wines.

Can you visit the winery?

Yes. The cellar is open Monday to Saturday, from 9:30 to 13:30 and from 14:30 to 18:30. Sundays are on request. Book ahead, in Italian or English. There is no minimum group size. Each visit pairs a guided cellar walk with a seated tasting of the Roccafiore range.

Is Roccafiore organic or sustainable?

The vineyards have been farmed on organic and sustainable principles since they were planted. The estate's own solar plant offsets roughly 90,000 kilograms of CO2 a year. It also uses lighter bottles, biofuel tractors and rainwater harvesting. Roccafiore holds the regional Green HeartQuality mark, belongs to FIVI, and is certified under VIVA for sustainable growing through November 2027.

Who founded Roccafiore?

Leonardo Baccarelli founded Cantina Roccafiore in 1999. He built it around native Umbrian grapes, led by Grechetto di Todi clone G5. His son Luca now runs the cellar alongside him, so two generations work the estate together.

Roccafiore

Cantina Roccafiore stands on the Colli Martani hills above Todi, in Umbria. Leonardo Baccarelli planted the first vines here in 1999 and chose only native Italian grapes. He and his son Luca now farm 15 hectares (37 acres) between 300 and 380 metres. Grechetto di Todi clone G5 anchors the whites. Sangiovese, Sagrantino and Montefalco Rosso fill out the reds. Solar panels on the cellar roof power the estate, which is certified under the VIVA sustainability scheme. Visitors are welcome six days a week, and the Roccafiore Wine Resort and Spa sits beside the cellar with the Ristorante Fiorfiore.

About Roccafiore

Leonardo Baccarelli started the project in the late 1990s. He planted the first vines in 1999, on the gentle hillsides west of Todi. The choice was deliberate: native Italian grapes only. Most of the land went to the Grechetto clone G5, the one tied most closely to the Tuderte zone around Todi. Sangiovese came next, with a small parcel of Schiava that mirrors the Alto Adige wines Leonardo had grown to love. His son Luca now runs the cellar alongside him. The vineyard has grown into one unbroken block, ringed by olive groves, orchards and a botanical garden of medicinal and aromatic plants.

The rows face south-east, at 300 to 380 metres. Monte Martano rises across the valley, and its 1,100-metre ridge funnels cool air down between the vines. The soil shifts as you walk it: white clay, chalky marl, gypsum and sand. All of it was left by Lago Tiberino, the ancient lake that once filled this stretch of the Tiber valley. The cellar is half buried in the slope, built in concrete, steel and glass. Gravity carries the juice from floor to floor, so no pump ever touches it.

Fiorfiore is the house standard, a Grechetto di Todi Superiore. It ferments with native yeasts in stainless steel, then spends about a year in large Slavonian oak casks and four more months in bottle. Melograno is its opposite number in red, a Sangiovese-based IGT. Rosso il Roccafiore, Prova d'Autore and Collina d'Oro sit alongside it. Montefalco Rosso and Montefalco Sagrantino come from Sagrantino vineyards a short drive south. Fiordaliso, L'Altrobianco and a rosato round out the lighter range, and a sparkling line called Les Bulles was added more recently.

Roccafiore was one of the first Italian wineries to put solar panels on its cellar roof. They save roughly 90,000 kilograms of CO2 each year. The estate also uses lighter bottles, tractors that run on biofuel, and a rainwater store. Since 2016 it has been replanting native woodland on unused parcels, to offset more of what it emits. The vineyards are farmed on organic and sustainable principles. Roccafiore holds the regional Green HeartQuality mark and is certified under VIVA through November 2027.

The Roccafiore Wine Resort and Spa adjoins the cellar. It has thirteen rooms in four grades, the Anthea Spa, and a Wine Chalet of 60 square metres tucked into oak woods. The pool looks across to the medieval skyline of Todi. Ristorante Fiorfiore has cooked local food since 2006. Its salumi come from the estate's own free-range Cinta Senese herd, and the vegetables from the kitchen garden. The cellar takes visitors every day except Sunday, by booking, in Italian or English. Longer tastings, vineyard walks and made-to-order dinners can be arranged.
