Story of the wine:

The reputation of Sangiovese di Romagna was for many years that of a light, fruity wine of large scale production. However, as the focus for Italian producers moves from the industrial to the well crafted then we will see wines of great quality emerging from previously undistinguished areas. This is a single estate wine that brings out the best characteristics of the Sangiovese grape.

Area:	A single estate in the commune of Imola (of Italian Grand Prix fame) near Bologna.
Density:	4,500 per ha.
Av. age:	15-16 years old.
Training:	Cordone Speronata
Yield:	65-70 hl per ha.
Harvest:	Beginning of October
Vinification:	A fermentation in 100 hl. stainless steel vats of between 18 and 22 days at 26-280C, is followed by a complete malolactic fermentation. There is a maceration of 12 to 15 days.
Ageing:	The wine is then aged in stainless steel vats of 100hl for 6 months. It is then bottled between April and June and released in September.
