Rosato Perticaia Umbria I.G.T.

The Perticaia wine I am discussing here is a Rosé or Rosato from Umbria I.G.T. (Typical Geographical Indication), which is fresh and elegant. It is made from a blend of Sangiovese and other grapes from the local area. It displays a delicate, pale pink colour with salmon reflections and a refined bouquet of wild rose, flat peach, and citrus fruits like grapefruit. On the palate, it is balanced and harmonious, with a lively freshness.


The History of Cantina Perticaia and the Becca Family

The story of Cantina Perticaia began in 2018, when the Becca family purchased the family-run winery in Montefalco, Umbria. The company is rooted in the importance of the bond with the land, as suggested by the name "perticaia," an archaic word for the plough—a tool that represents the connection between man and agriculture. Before the acquisition, the winery already had decades of experience in the wine sector, with the first professional harvest dating back to 1968. The winery's philosophy is centered on enhancing the territory and its native vines, with particular attention to producing elegant and refined wines, such as Montefalco Sagrantino D.O.C.G. (Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin). The company was a pioneer in the rediscovery and promotion of Trebbiano Spoletino, a native mountain grape, which today represents a hallmark of the winery.
