Descrizione

The Sangiovese di Romagna DOC - Zavalloni Stefano is a classic exemplar that celebrates Italian winemaking mastery in the Emilia-Romagna region. Produced by the Zavalloni Stefano estate, this wine stands out for its varietal purity and the territorial authenticity of Sangiovese, one of Italy's most representative grape varieties.

The care and attention in the winemaking process are evident in the glass. The Sangiovese di Romagna DOC presents an intense ruby red color, tending towards garnet with age. On the nose, it opens with aromas of cherry and plum, accompanied by accents of spices like nutmeg and black pepper, followed by pleasant nuances of tobacco and leather, owing to a skillful use of wood during the aging period.

On the palate, the wine offers a solid yet harmonious structure, with well-integrated tannins that balance the typical acidity of Sangiovese. It has a long finish, leaving a persistent sensation of red fruits and a slight spicy trace.

This Sangiovese di Romagna DOC is perfect for accompanying robust dishes of Emilia-Romagna cuisine, such as pasta with meat ragù, roasts, and aged cheeses. It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 16-18°C to enhance all its qualities.

Zavalloni Stefano's approach to viticulture respects the environment and enhances the characteristics of the territory, making every sip of this wine a true tribute to the Romagna region. A wine that not only tells the story of its place of origin but also promises to evolve magnificently if stored under the correct conditions. A must for enthusiasts of authentic and characterful Italian wines.

Winery history

The Zavalloni family has cultivated vineyards on the hills of Madonna dell'Olivo, near Cesena, for generations; the estate's website and local sources indicate that the family's winemaking tradition dates back to the mid-19th century and that the estate is now run by the sixth generation.

Production philosophy

It combines family tradition with modern cellar techniques: manual vineyard care, attention to the terroir and integrated protection practices. The stated aim is to produce wines that honestly convey the character of Romagna while maintaining good value for money.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards located on the hills of Madonna dell'Olivo, on medium-textured, clay-leaning soils. The area benefits from the influence of the nearby Adriatic Sea, which creates a breezy, relatively dry microclimate.
