The Ravenna Uva Longanesi IGT - Blu di Burson - Tenuta Uccellina is a red wine of distinctiveness and charisma, originating from the refined Tenuta Uccellina winery, located in the heart of Romagna. This grape variety, Uva Longanesi, is native to the area and was discovered accidentally in the 1940s. Cultivated with passion and dedication, it has produced wines of extraordinary identity, such as Blu di Burson.

The wine showcases an intense, almost impenetrable color, foreshadowing the olfactory and gustatory richness that characterizes this nectar. On the nose, complex notes of ripe fruits like plums and cherries emerge, skillfully paired with hints of sweet spices, vanilla, and a slight touch of tobacco, owing also to aging in oak barrels that enrich the bouquet without overwhelming it.

On the palate, Blu di Burson reveals itself as enveloping and well-structured, with soft but present tannins defining its flavor profile. The balance between acidity and alcohol is impeccable, leading to a long and pleasantly persistent finish, with a aftertaste reminiscent of spices and dark chocolate.

Ideal for accompanying robust dishes such as roasts, game, and aged cheeses, the Ravenna Uva Longanesi IGT - Blu di Burson - Tenuta Uccellina is a wine that knows how to take center stage at the table, promising to evolve splendidly even after a few years of aging in the cellar.

A wine that not only represents the enological excellence of Romagna but also testifies to the deep connection between the land and the native winemaking traditions, offering a unique experience for every enthusiast of robust and complex wines.
