Albana Passito 2020
Sangiovese 'Girapoggio' 2020
Although Sangiovese is said to originate from this region, the fertile
flat plains of the Po basin have had something of a reputation for quantity, not
quality. Raffaella found quality in the hills of Bertinoro in southeastern
Romagna, close to the border of Tuscany and the Marche. Her six hectares
of vines, mostly Sangiovese with a little of the white Albana, are farmed
manually and organically. The vineyards are at about 150 metres, planted on
sandy-clayey soil. Sangiovese is made without oak, brimming with fresh red
cherry and floral fruit and a juicy mouthfeel.
