Marne Gialle - Paride from Tenuta Santa Lucia is a wine that authentically expresses the territory of Emilia Romagna, where winemaking tradition blends with modern techniques to create high-quality products. This wine is a single-varietal Sangiovese, an indigenous grape variety that finds one of its highest expressions in this region.

The “Marne Gialle” selection specifically refers to the use of grapes grown in a particular type of marl-rich soil, characterized by a clay component that imparts significant structure and an outstanding aging potential to the wine. The vinification process follows traditional methods with extended maceration and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and aromatic qualities of the fruit.

Visually, Sangiovese Sel. Marne Gialle exhibits an intense ruby red color, which tends towards garnet with aging. On the nose, it reveals notes of ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum, enriched by hints of sweet spices and a light touch of vanilla derived from wood aging. On the palate, the wine is robust yet balanced, with mature and well-integrated tannins leading to a persistent and harmonious finish.

This wine is ideal for pairing with elaborate red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses. Its complexity and structure also make it an excellent candidate for further aging in the cellar, where it can continue to develop its range of aromas and flavors.

In conclusion, the Sangiovese Sel. Marne Gialle - Paride is an excellent choice for those seeking a wine that combines varietal typicity with the complexity conferred by a unique terroir, thus representing a true expression of the oenological heritage of Tenuta Santa Lucia.
