Sangiovese Appassimento 2024

What kind of wine it is

Tenuta Santodeno Sangiovese Appassimento is a still red wine characterised by remarkable richness of flavour. It appears in the glass with an intense ruby red colour, enhanced by lively violet reflections. The bouquet is distinguished by enveloping notes of red fruits, blackberry jam and spices, with hints of cherry, raspberry and vanilla. On the palate, this blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a full-bodied structure, supported by soft tannins that make each sip balanced and deep, perfectly in line with its aromatic profile.

Where it comes from

This red wine originates from Romagna, a region with excellent soil and climate conditions for viticulture. Production is entrusted to Tenuta Santodeno, an estate that has cared for the land with dedication since 1929. The connection with the territory gives the wine an authentic and distinctive character. At the table, it pairs ideally with roast red meats, game, mature cheeses and rich tomato-based pasta dishes. To best appreciate its nuances, it is recommended to let it decant for about an hour and serve it in a large glass at a temperature of sixteen degrees.

How it is produced

Production is based on the technique of partial drying, a fundamental stage that defines the wine's distinctive character. After meticulous hand harvesting, the grapes are selected and left to dry slowly to encourage natural dehydration. This practice increases the aromatic concentration and intensity of the grapes' natural flavours. The work in the cellar respects the integrity of the fruit, ensuring a dense and harmonious profile. This process gives the wine great complexity of flavour, allowing it to express itself with vigour and remarkable persistence.
