Rosé or known as rosato in Italian is a wine that is the best of both world’s and can be consumed all yearlong. It has the freshness of white wine and the structure of red wine. Winemaking was initially introduced into this area by the Etruscans. Tuscany borders Umbria in the northwest and Rome borders it in the south.

Fontanella translates to drinking fountain and the name was chosen for this line of wine due to its more modern clean crisp style and drinkability. This is a wine to enjoy everyday on its own or with food.

The Goretti winery is currently operated by its 3rd generation. The estate is located in the hilly area outside of Perugia, Umbria and features a 14th century tower that has become the emblem of Goretti. Their belief is that the quality of the wines is never the result of improvisation, but of a deep knowledge of land, climate, and production processes.
