Roccevive
Taburno Falanghina del Sannio
DOP
History and Identity
Here, the land is more than soil: it is living matter.
On the slopes of Mount Taburno, among terraces shaped by time, the vineyard grows on a mosaic of rocky fragments and clay, capable of retaining both water and memory. Roccevive is born from this energy: stones that breathe and transmit to the wine a clear, vibrant mineral character.
The sun guides ripening, while hillside breezes moderate its pace. A vertical wine that speaks the language of the land.
