More questions
The Sangiovese di Romagna DOC Riserva Le Morine from Monticino Rosso is a red wine that shows the typical character of Sangiovese in the Romagna denomination. It appears clear with a ruby color tending to garnet. On the nose it opens with notes of ripe red fruit, small flowers and light spicy hints; the aromatic intensity is measured and harmonious. The term Riserva in the name suggests a more developed profile compared to basic labels, without specifying winemaking or aging details.
On the palate it reveals a balanced structure, present but not aggressive tannins and a freshness that keeps the sip lively; the finish is dry and savory. It pairs versatilely with dishes from the Romagna tradition, first courses with meat sauces, roasts and medium-aged cheeses. Serving around 16–18 °C is recommended, and it is advisable to open the bottle a little in advance to allow the aromas to express themselves. Suitable for those seeking a clear and recognizable Sangiovese.
