The Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore DOC "Balitore" from Balia di Zola winery is a exquisite and refined expression of one of Italy's most famous grape varieties. This wine is produced in the fertile lands of Romagna, a region that imparts a distinctive character to the Sangiovese. With its DOC Superiore designation, "Balitore" represents a premium selection, originating from vineyards managed with careful and sustainable cultivation methods.

In the glass, "Balitore" displays a deep and bright ruby-red color that sets the stage for a complex olfactory experience. On the nose, it offers a varied bouquet ranging from ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum, to nuances of sweet spices and a light hint of vanilla, deriving from its aging in wood.

On the palate, the Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore shows a robust but harmonious structure, with well-balanced tannins that embrace a lively freshness, typical of this grape variety. The lingering aftertaste allows for a long and pleasantly spiced finish, which invites a second sip.

This wine pairs perfectly with traditional Italian dishes such as tagliatelle al ragù or roasted meats. It is also ideal alongside aged cheeses, where the structure of the Sangiovese can balance the richness of the flavors.

"Balitore" is a wine that can be enjoyed immediately, but also has excellent aging potential. Stored in a cellar, this Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore can evolve, developing even more complexity and depth. A true gem for any collector of quality Italian wines.
