Chiara Condello Romagna Sangiovese Predappio

100% Sangiovese. 100% Sangiovese from three vineyards parcels between 150m and 350m above sea level, with a north/northeast exposure. One is clay-limestone, one is red clay with high spungone content, and the last is clay-limestone with veins of spungone. Vines are approximately 40 years old. The grapes were destemmed but not crushed, leaving whole berries intact. Fermentation was spontaneous in small stainless steel tanks (with temperture control), and open-top tronconic wood vats and tonneaux. Macerations lasted 15-25 days. Aging was for one year in used 3500L Slavonian oak botti. Chiara Condello is a young winemaker located in the town of Predappio in Emilia-Romagna, specifically Romagna. Juicy, medium-bodied and fresh; red cherries and cranberry, refined tannins.
