Description
What kind of wine it is
I Mandorli Sangiovese Superiore from Fattoria Nicolucci is an organic still red wine from Emilia-Romagna, matured in cement vats. Belonging to the Romagna Sangiovese Superiore denomination and made from Sangiovese grapes, it appears in the glass with a bright, clear ruby red hue. On the nose, it offers a bouquet characterised by distinct floral and fruity aromas, intertwined with delicate vegetal notes. On the palate, it is dry yet smooth and lively, with a bold and straightforward sip accompanied by pleasant savouriness and a moderately persistent finish.
Where it comes from
This elegant red originates from the picturesque wine-growing landscapes of Predappio Alta, an area of Emilia-Romagna historically renowned for viticulture. The Fattoria Nicolucci winery cultivates its vineyards following organic farming principles. Attention to the unique characteristics of the land enhances the aromatic clarity and honesty of the fruit, resulting in a Romagna Sangiovese Superiore that faithfully reflects the character of its geographical roots.
How it is produced
The winemaking process aims to preserve the purity of the raw material, with maturation taking place in glass-lined cement vats before bottling. The decision not to filter the wine allows the authentic profile of the fruit to remain intact. To best enhance its expressiveness, it is advisable to decant for an hour before serving. At the table, it proves extremely versatile, pairing excellently with classic Romagnan cuisine, pasta with sauce, red meats, pork, and generous platters of cured meats and cheeses.
History and Curiosities
Produced in Predappio Alta, ‘I Mandorli’ from the historic Nicolucci Farm has embodied the spirit of Romagna DOC Sangiovese Superiore since 1885. From twelve hectares cultivated organically comes a lively and genuine interpretation of the region. True to artisanal tradition, this wine is aged in glass-lined cement vats and bottled without filtration, preserving the integrity and purity of the fruit. The 2025 vintage stands as an authentic and immediate expression of its roots.
