The motto of the San Valentino company mentions: "good wine is born in the vineyard and is completed in the cellar", and it is precisely on the basis of this that all the interventions on the plants are made for a single purpose: to create optimal conditions for healthy grapes. and of excellent quality. Sangiovese Superiore Riserva Terra di Covignano, is a wine whose grapes derive from organic farming and whose fermentation is natural in steel with indigenous yeasts, and theaging takes place in large wooden barrels and barriques for 18/20 months.

A drink that in the glass shows an intense ruby red color with purple hues. The sense of smell is intoxicated by the iintense fruity aromas of cherry, Blueberries and currant blueberries that open to spicy notes of thyme and juniper, and floral hints of violet and red rose, as well as nuances of rhubarb. A majestic and elegant red, able to surprise until the last sip.

On the palate it is immediately broad and well structured, with a well-developed tannic fiber and a surprising finish with hints of bitter chocolate and plum jam on the palate. At the table it is excellent in combination with courses of red meats, roasts and medium-aged cheeses.
