Winery: Rocca di Tufo (Palazzone)
Region: Umbria
Locale: Orvieto, Italy
Appellation: Orvieto Classico
Designation: DOC

Site: Grown in the winery’s estate vineyards.

Grapes: 60% Procanico and 40% Grechetto, Verdelho, and Malvasia

Notes: Rocca di Tufo is named for the volcanic “Tufo” rocks, found everywhere in this area and especially along the Tiber river, from Tufo. Interestingly, and distressingly, the grapes come from the “Classico” part of the Orvieto zone - and may be labeled “Orvieto Classico” - so long as they are not bottled under Stelvin screw cap. Hmm...
