Descrizione

The Romagna Sangiovese DOC Superiore "Vigna della Croce" from Rocca di Ribano Spalletti is a prestigious specimen that reflects the authentic expression of the Romagnolo terroir. Produced with selected Sangiovese grapes, this wine stands out for its robust structure and balance, making it unmistakable.

Rocca di Ribano's traditional winemaking prioritizes methods that accentuate the intrinsic qualities of Sangiovese, a variety that finds an ideal habitat in this area. Targeted enological approaches and meticulous maturation in oak barrels lend the "Vigna della Croce" an elegant aromatic complexity, accompanied by notes of ripe red fruits, delicate spices, and a subtle hint of vanilla.

On the palate, this Romagna Sangiovese DOC Superiore presents a vigorous yet harmonious attack, with well-balanced tannins merging into a full-bodied and savory experience. The acidity is well integrated, contributing to remarkable taste persistence, making it a highly drinkable wine with significant aging potential.

Served at a temperature of 18-20°C, the "Vigna della Croce" is ideal for pairing with rich dishes such as roasts, grilled red meats, and aged cheeses. This wine not only reflects the winemaking tradition of Romagna but proudly brings it to the table, offering a rich sensory experience deeply connected to its place of origin.

Winery history

The estate is tied to a long local winemaking tradition: the winery is described as the oldest in Romagna and its activity has been recorded for centuries. The official website also notes that in 1875 Count Gioacchino Rasponi founded the winery, whose management later became associated with the houses of Conti Spalletti and the Principi Colonna di Paliano. Today production is housed and promoted within the Castello di Ribano complex.

Strong focus on the local territory and organic farming: hand-harvesting of the grapes, targeted winemaking to enhance the characteristics of the grape varieties, and practices oriented toward sustainability. The winery aims to valorise Romagna's identity through wines that express the local terroir.

Terroir and vineyards
