Description

The Romagna DOC Sangiovese Appassimento from Tenuta Santodeno is a wine that celebrates the Romagna winemaking tradition with a touch of modernity. This red wine is produced using Sangiovese grapes naturally dried, a process that concentrates sugars and aromas, giving greater complexity and structure to the final product.

The color is an intense ruby red, with garnet reflections. On the nose, complex notes of ripe red fruit emerge, such as cherries and plums, accompanied by hints of sweet spices, chocolate, and a slight touch of vanilla, resulting from aging in wood.

In the mouth, the Romagna DOC Sangiovese Appassimento is enveloping and velvety, with soft and well-integrated tannins. The palate experiences a pleasant initial sweetness that evolves into a persistently fruity and spicy finish, maintaining a perfect balance between acidity and body.

Thanks to its structure and complexity, this wine is suitable to be paired with rich and flavorful dishes such as roasts, stews, and aged cheeses. It is also perfect for an evening tasting, to be enjoyed slowly to appreciate all its nuances. The Romagna DOC Sangiovese Appassimento from Tenuta Santodeno represents a masterful example of how tradition can blend with innovative winemaking techniques, offering a high-level oenological experience.

Winery history

The brand has been active since 1929, and the place name "Santodeno" is linked to the area's historic name. Over the years the winery has developed a range focused on Romagna's typical grape varieties and on several IGT wines, combining traditional methods with modern winemaking practices.

Production philosophy

Production focused on enhancing the hilly terroir of Romagna: careful tending of hillside vineyards, selection of native grape varieties and experimentation — including the drying of Sangiovese grapes — to express identity and typicity.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are described as being located on the hills of the Valle del Bidente and on the hills around Forlì; the area is characterized by good ventilation, pronounced diurnal temperature variations and medium-textured soils, conditions favorable to the ripening of the grapes.
