The 375ml bottle is a perfect size for those who wish to enjoy an excellent red wine without having to open a full bottle, ideal for intimate dinners or as a sophisticated accompaniment to selected dishes.

The Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore DOC - Balitore has a deep ruby red color with hints that start to turn slightly garnet as it ages. On the nose, notes of ripe red fruits like cherries and blackberries mix with hints of spices and a light trace of vanilla, deriving from a brief maturation period in barriques that enriches its bouquet.

On the palate, the Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore DOC - Balitore displays a balanced structure, with soft yet well-present tannins that ensure good longevity. The acidity is well-balanced, keeping the wine fresh and inviting, with a lasting finish that leaves a pleasant aftertaste of fruit and spices.

Ideal as an accompaniment to robust dishes of Italian cuisine, such as pasta with ragù, grilled red meats or roasts. It is also perfect with medium-aged cheeses, this wine enhances culinary preparations with its vigorous yet harmonious presence.

Every sip of the Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore DOC - Balitore is a journey through the flavors and traditions of a land rich in winemaking history, offering a tasting experience that will satisfy enthusiasts of fine wine.

Winery history

The estate is located in a farmhouse with historic roots, and the family led by Veruska Eluci and Claudio Fiore launched the modern Balìa di Zola project in the early 2000s. The winery was officially established as a family venture in 2004, with restoration of the farmhouse and replanting of the vineyards to enhance Sangiovese di Romagna.

Production philosophy

Artisanal work and attention to the vineyard: the winery prioritizes hands-on care of the grape bunches, harvesting into crates, respect for the terroir, and sustainability-focused practices. In the cellar, simple methods are applied, and since 2008 native yeasts have also been used for fermentations.

Terroir and vineyards

Situated in the municipality of Modigliana in the Romagna Apennines, the vineyards are laid out in an amphitheatre at approximately 300 m above sea level, surrounded by calanchi, woods and olive groves. The soils are described as marly and sandy, with a balanced texture that influences the character of the wines.
