Rosso Rubicone IGT - Passo Rosso - Enio Ottaviani

The Rosso Rubicone IGT "Passo Rosso" by Enio Ottaviani is a vibrant and intense expression of the Emilia-Romagna region. This red wine results from a meticulous selection of grapes, primarily Sangiovese and Merlot, reflecting the region's richness and diversity.

To the eye, Passo Rosso displays a deep ruby red color with violet hues, indicating its youth and vitality. On the nose, it opens with an enveloping bouquet of ripe red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, enriched with nuances of sweet spices, including vanilla and a slight touch of cinnamon, deriving from wood maturation.

On the palate, the wine is rich and well-structured. The attack is smooth and the well-integrated tannins support a velvety texture that leads to a persistent finish, with a pleasant return of the fruity and spicy flavors perceived on the nose.

It is recommended to serve Passo Rosso at a temperature of 16-18°C, ideal for enhancing its organoleptic qualities. It pairs beautifully with traditional Italian dishes such as pasta with ragù, meat roasts, and aged cheeses.

This Rosso Rubicone IGT stands out for its perfect balance between body and acidity, making it suitable for both special occasions and everyday enjoyment. A true testament to the vineyard's potential and the savoir-faire of Enio Ottaviani.
