Sangiovese wine: the passion of red wine with an all-Italian taste

With its unmistakable and timeless taste, the Sangiovese wine is the pride of those who take care every day of the vineyards, with passion and dedication, in order to offer only the best to their customers. The hard work reaches its peak during the harvest in September and October. The Sangiovese wine’s leaves are of medium size and the bunch is recognisable by being compact and with a classic pyramid shape. The Sangiovese is a still wine, with an intense colour that should be served at a temperature between 16 and 18 degrees. The fruity, floral, and spicy scent is dominant on the nose, without drowning out the balsamic and herbaceous hint. The scent’s intensity is quite pronounced, among which stand out the scent of cherry, wild berries, violet, liquorice, nutmeg, black pepper, cinnamon, tobacco and cocoa. On the palate, on the other hand, its softness is immediately perceived. Its colour, with ruby red hues, derives from the shades of the grapes which, when fully ripe, produce an explosive flavor. The taste and essence of Sangiovese wine are intense, a perfect combination of full-body and delicacy.

From Sangiovese of Romagna to Sangiovese Superiore

Sangiovese is at its best when matched with meat-based first and second courses, such as grilled meats, game, and roasts. However, there is no reason why it cannot also be enjoyed with some starters, such as a selection of cured meats and cheeses. This italian wine has also received the prestigious recognition of the Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC).

Sangiovese di Romagna is the pride of land with a strong and self-confident character, features shared by its production, that has to be discovered and appreciated glass after glass. Among the best-known wines in Italy, it is impossible not to mention Sangiovese Rubicone, produced in the immense hills of the Imola area. It is the ideal match for first and second meat courses, preferably grilled. Sangiovese Superiore is also among the most popular wines in Italy and abroad. After all, the Sangiovese grape encapsulates all the Made in Italy excellence, creating not simply a wine, but a product to not be missed.
