SANGIOVESE DEL CONTE Rubicone IGT Sangiovese
TYPE OF WINE
Still red wine
MAIN GRAPES
Sangiovese
PRODUCTION AREA
Grapes coming from the IGT area, located in the Provinces of Ravenna, Forlì-Cesena, Rimini and part of Bologna (Emilia-Romagna Region, Central Italy)
SOILS
Hilly region in the Easter part of the Region of Emilia Romagna (central Italy), facing the Adriatic Sea and therefore adequately exposed and ventilated, with calcareous-clayey soil in the hills, alternated to alluvial and morainic plains.
HARVEST
Sangiovese is a slightly late variety, so harvest takes place between end of September and beginning of October.
VINIFICATION
Pressing and maceration to extract the colour and soft tannins. Fermentation at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks with frequent remontages and pumping over. Wine rests and refines for a short period before bottling.
COLOUR
Ruby red with purplish hues
BOUQUET
Pleasant floral bouquet with notes of dry violet, overripe red fruits, cherry in spirits and plums.
TASTE
Full-bodied and well balanced in the palate with a delicious food-friendly freshness. Ripe black fruits in the after taste, ethereal notes, but a fresh and clean finish.
FOOD PAIRING
A pleasant vine, easy to drink, suitable to all seasons. Goes well with the traditional cousin, pasta with meat sauce, roasts, grilled red meat and cheeses.
