Azienda Agraria Fongoli is an ancestral estate situated in San Marco near Montefalco in Umbria, Italy, managed by the Fongoli family for nearly a century. Today under the leadership of Angelo Fongoli, the estate practices certified organic and biodynamic agriculture across its vineyards. Biancofongoli is crafted as an authentic, approachable expression of local Umbrian white grapes, emphasizing native land stewardship and low-intervention winemaking.

## Interesting facts

- The estate has been continuously operated by the Fongoli family for almost a century in Umbria.

- Certified organic and biodynamic, the vineyard utilizes cover cropping and zero synthetic chemicals.

## Food pairing

The high natural acidity and fresh mineral character of this light white wine complement delicate seafood and fresh goat cheeses, while balancing savory vegetable starters without overwhelming subtle flavor profiles.

## Wine making process

Grapes are harvested by hand from late August through early September. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in open vats, accompanied by a brief 48-hour skin maceration. Following gentle pressing with a horizontal membrane press, fermentation finishes without temperature regulation. The wine ages on fine lees in stainless steel tanks with periodic racking before bottling unfiltered with no added sulfur dioxide.
