Sacrofòco

2007Orcia Vin Santo

Denominazione di Origine Controllata

Sumptuous wine, precious witness of a family history began 500 years ago.

Sacrofòco is the symbol of one of the most ancient traditions of our territory, which we are proud to continue. The process requires the grapes to be left to dry on “penzane”, then pressed by hand and left to rest for a long time in barrels. In our family, the “mother” has been handed down for generations, and works her magic in the small chestnut barrels to start the fermentation process. The patience to wait for at least 10 years completes the miracle of this wine, which is both light and shadow, earth and fire.

  • Grape mix: 95% Trebbiano, 5% Vermentino
  • Manual harvest: harvested in the second half of August
  • Ageing: the must is kept for at least 10 years in barrels that are not completely filled and sealed with wax, in a well-ventilated environment with significant temperature fluctuations between seasons. After bottling, they remain about 6 months in the bottle
  • Production: limited number, a few hundred bottles per year. Vin Santo is not produced every year.
  • Serving suggestions:in medium-sized white wine glasses, at a temperature of 10–12° C.
    In this unfiltered wine, any sediment is synonymous with genuineness.

Our advice: Sacrofòco is a magnificent wine, a precious testimony to the history of our family history for over 500 years. It is the perfect accompaniment to blue cheeses and Pecorino cheeses of the highest quality, to excellent goose foie gras, but also to almond biscuits that are not too sweet.
