Fattoria Monticino Rosso Sangiovese Romagna Superiore 2020
This wine is the wine to drink every day. The label suggests the convivial atmosphere of our land and our people. What you’ll find in this wine are scents that identify the immediate beauty of the Romagna area. Good intensity and persistence on the nose: cherries, black cherries, coffee, then the flowers that bloom gently in the shade of the undergrowth with moss and wild strawberries. The finish is dry, with hints of fruit cooked in sugar and mild spices. The taste has a good balance between the “gentle” and the more “nervous”, which highlights the main characteristic of the grape. It has a good fullness of body and acidity well-modulated continues to tickle the taste buds long. The tannins are well integrated into the structure, strong, fine grain.

About the winery
Fattoria Monticino Rosso is a family-run winery. It was founded in 1965 thanks to Antonio Zeoli, who in that year bought the first plot of 13 hectares, called the “Olmo” winery. In the following years Antonio was joined by his sons Luciano and Gianni, now both at the helm of the company, and in 1985 the family acquired the “Monticino Rosso” winery, of 24 hectares, adjacent to the first and which will then give the name to the entire estate. The farm is located on the hills of Imola, on the border with the municipality of Dozza, where the production of sparkling wines from Emilia gives way to the still and impetuous wines of Romagna. “Monticino Rosso” was already clearly identified in the cadastral documents drawn up during the Napoleonic domination with the name of “Monticino dei meli granati” and for at least a century it was the property of the lords Codronchi Torelli, a noble family from Imola, whose well-being and culture have allowed harmoniously shape the landscape. And it is with a sense of gratitude towards those who have had the privilege of owning and loving these lands, preserving in them the cultivation of traditional vines, that Luciano and Gianni Zeoli wanted to give one of their most significant wines, the selection of Albana di Dry Romagna, the name of “Codronchio”.
