The Baruccia Sangiovese Superiore DOC from Tenuta Casali is an expressive red wine that captures the essence of the terroir in the Romagna region. Produced with 100% Sangiovese grapes, this wine reflects the passion and winemaking tradition of the Casali family, who cultivate their vineyards with dedication and respect for nature.

The Baruccia Sangiovese Superiore has an intense ruby red color, which heralds the rich aromatic notes that unfold in the glass. On the nose, vibrant scents of ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum emerge, enriched by nuances of sweet spices and a light touch of vanilla, stemming from the ageing in wood.

On the palate, the wine is robust yet harmonious, with a nice tannic structure that balances perfectly with the fresh acidity. The flavors of red fruit blend with notes of earth and leather, resulting in a persistent and pleasantly complex finish.

This Sangiovese Superiore is ideal to accompany classic Italian dishes, such as tagliatelle with ragù or roasted meats. It is also excellent with aged cheeses and cured meats, where its fruity liveliness complements the richness of the foods.

Storing in the cellar for a few years will allow the Baruccia Sangiovese Superiore to evolve, developing even more complexity and sophistication. We recommend serving it at a temperature of 16-18°C to maximize the expression of its aromas and flavors.

Winery history
Founded by Valerio and Paolo Casali in 1978 to continue the business their grandfather Mario began in the 1940s, Tenuta Casali is today also led by the new generation. The estate has developed its identity by cultivating indigenous grape varieties and reviving historic vineyards in the Mercato Saraceno area.
Production philosophy
The approach is agricultural and focused on protecting the land: "artisan" wines with minimal cellar intervention, hand harvesting, soil care, and targeted experimentation. Time in the vineyard and the cellar is regarded as a fundamental ingredient, with attention to sustainability.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards are located in the Mercato Saraceno subzone, in the Valle del Savio. The vines grow on river terraces with mixed soils of gravel, sand, marl and clay; the significant diurnal temperature range and proximity to the Apennines contribute to the wines' freshness and intensity.
