Pairing Red meats, aged cheeses
The Sangiovese Superiore Petali di Viola Romagna DOC from Merlotta shows a ruby red color with slight violet reflections. On the nose it offers aromas of ripe cherry, small red fruits and a delicate floral note reminiscent of violet; there are also light spice notes and a subtle herbaceous trace that adds freshness. On the palate it is dry and sapid, with lively acidity and soft tannins that support the structure without weighing it down; the finish is of good persistence with a fruity return.

A straightforward table wine, it pairs with traditional Romagna dishes such as pasta with sauce, not overly elaborate meat dishes, cured meats and semi-mature cheeses. Serve around 16–18 °C in a large glass to appreciate the aromas; letting it rest a few minutes after opening can help release the scents. A practical choice for those seeking a recognizable Sangiovese with a fresh profile and pleasant drinkability.
