Azienda Agricola Bocale

The Azienda Agricola Bocale is located in the locality of Madonna della Stella, just six kilometers from the center of Montefalco (PG). The historic village, known as the “Balcony of Umbria,” stands on a hill overlooking the Spoleto valley, at an elevation of about 473 meters, and offers a charming panorama.
Bocale is the dialectal term for a two-liter jug of wine or oil, but, above all, it is the name by which this family from Montefalco has always been identified.

Bocale: 100 years of passion passed down through generations

One hundred years of history and personal stories link the Valentini family to the city of Montefalco. Against the backdrop is the most authentic Umbria, connected to the culture of its land, where every farming gesture resonates with wisdom, simplicity, passion, and sacrifice. Stories of men and work in the fields, framed by a hilly landscape of rare beauty, where the vine caresses the round shapes of the land.
Since 2002, the Valentini family has returned to interpret this environmental and cultural heritage, giving life to Bocale, a company born to treasure that ancient passion for wine handed down through generations.
The productions of Montefalco Rosso, Montefalco Sagrantino, and Trebbiano Spoletino are authentic expressions of a path of innovation in tradition, where only the fruits of nature blend with the perfection and simplicity of human gestures. Full respect for environmental cycles and care for the artisan process are the central elements of a philosophy that makes Bocale wines natural products of great personality.

Bocale: craftsmanship and innovation

The company extends over 10 hectares, 6 of which are cultivated with vines, and has an average annual production of 35,000 bottles. The completely natural wines are produced using a craft process that enhances the varietal and territorial characteristics.
The vineyard is treated with the technique of cover cropping and organic and mineral fertilization without the use of chemical products or herbicides.
Fermentation takes place exclusively with indigenous yeasts.
The wine is not subjected to microfiltration or thermal stabilization.
The wines are produced using processes that exclude the use of any animal-derived substances, contain no traces of animal derivatives, eggs, or dairy products, and have obtained the V-Label “Vegan” mark.
Aging occurs in French oak barrels. The wines are marketed only after a suitable refinement in the bottle.
The Bocale company is committed to and pays particular attention to eco-sustainability by using renewable sources that help reduce environmental impact. In fact, the energy used for the entire production cycle is derived from a photovoltaic system.
