More questions
The Romagna Sangiovese DOC "Casticiano" produced by Celli winery is an authentic expression of Romagna viticulture, renowned for its ability to convey the unique character of the territory through its wines. This wine is made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes, the emblematic varietal of the region, carefully cultivated on clay-limestone soils that impart robustness and complexity to the bouquet.
The vinification process adheres to traditional methods, with prolonged maceration of the skins to extract the maximum color and aromatic compounds. This is followed by aging in steel tanks to preserve the freshness and authenticity of the fruit. The "Casticiano" presents itself with a lively ruby red color, leading to a rich olfactory profile filled with aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, enhanced by spicy notes of black pepper and a slight hint of tobacco.
On the palate, the wine shows a well-balanced structure, supported by soft yet present tannins and a freshness that entices the next sip. The acidity is well balanced, contributing to a sense of palate cleanliness and preparing the palate for flavorful food pairings.
Ideal as a companion for traditional Romagna cuisine, such as tagliatelle with ragù or grilled meats, the Romagna Sangiovese DOC "Casticiano" from Celli also pairs well with medium-aged cheeses. It is a wine that can be enjoyed immediately but also has the potential to evolve interestingly over a few years in the cellar.

The story
According to official information, the winery was established in Bertinoro in 1963 and is managed by the Sirri and Casadei families. From traditional farmhouse wines, the estate has progressively shifted its focus to quality and local typicity, developing vineyards around the village and selecting parcels to produce wines of character.
Production philosophy
Emphasis is placed on the connection to the land and on typicity: all wines are produced from estate-grown grapes, and the estate has completed conversion to organic farming for its grapes. The approach favors separate vinification of individual parcels to highlight distinct characteristics and create balanced blends.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards located around the village of Bertinoro, on soils characterized by "spungone". The parcels cited by the estate include La Massa, Cellaimo, Maestrina and Campi di Fratta.
Awards and recognition
The Albana "I Croppi" has been awarded Tre Bicchieri by the Gambero Rosso guide several times; on the product pages the producer also lists recent medals and awards.
