Descrizione

Sangiovese di Romagna DOC "Buco del Prete" from Ronchi di Castelluccio is a red wine made from Sangiovese grown in Romagna. It shows a bright ruby colour and an aromatic profile recalling ripe red fruits, light herbaceous notes and floral nuances. On the palate it offers a balance of freshness and structure: tannins present but soft, lively acidity and a pleasant, persistent finish. The structure is not overwhelming, making the wine accessible to a wide range of drinkers.

It pairs naturally with everyday dishes: pasta with tomato sauce, meat-based sauces, cured meats and medium-aged cheeses. It also works well with grilled meats and rustic preparations, without overpowering flavours. We recommend serving it at around 16–18 °C and giving it a few minutes of air if you wish to slightly soften the aromas. It is a versatile choice for informal meals and for those looking for an unpretentious Sangiovese di Romagna.

Winery history

Founded in 1974 by filmmaker/intellectual Gian Vittorio Baldi, the estate was prominent in the 1970s–1990s; acquired in 2020 by the Rametta brothers who reinstated single‑'ronco' vinification. ([ronchidicastelluccio.com](https://ronchidicastelluccio.com/chi-siamo/))

Production philosophy

Single‑cru work (micro‑vinifications), vineyard management with organic practices (grass cover, treatments limited to copper and sulfur), very low yields and ageing in lightly toasted French barriques (Allier, Vosges, Tronçais).
