Predappio, a town in Emilia-Romagna, has always been considered the home of Sangiovese. Here Francesco Condello and his family have fulfilled their dream of owning their own winery. This is the product of the best grapes from the vineyard of the same name, planted with Sangiovese and perfectly exposed to the East. It is this optimal exposure to the morning light that gives it its name Raggio Brusa, or ”Burning Ray“.
Grape variety: Sangiovese 100%
Vinification: After the grape harvest, the grapes reach the winery as quickly as possible. Here they are selected and gently pressed. This is followed by fermentation in large oak barrels at controlled temperatures. After the end of fermentation, the Raggio Brusa Romagna is aged for a few more months in French oak barrels.
Tasting notes: This wine has an intense dark and clear ruby colour. The nose picks up the intensity of the fruit, characterised by intense notes of cherry and blackberry, typical of the variety, which then gives way to floral and balsamic Mediterranean brush, leather and damp soil. The mouth is powerful and crisp, with tannins of rare elegance. It closes with hints of savoury and a long persistent finish, crying out for another sip. It is capable of long life and evolution in the bottle.
Alcohol content: 14.5% vol.
Food pairing: structured dishes like red meat, aged cheeses, game
