WINERY: Tenuta Santa Lucia
COUNTRY: Italy
REGION: Emilia-Romagna
APPELLATION: Rubicone Sangiovese IGT
GRAPE: 100% Sangiovese
WINEMAKER NOTES: As it is the case with all their wines there is a careful evaluation of the harvest period; careful selection of grapes both on the plant and in the cellar; spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in steel without the addition of sulphites.
TASTING NOTES: Deep ruby red colour; nose offers aromas of fresh red fruit; refreshing acidity. Full and dense with purple and blue fruits as opposed to the red fruited sour cherry notes of Sangiovese from places like Chianti.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Sangiovese is always a great match to any dishes with tomato, from hearty stews and lasagna to pizzas and specially well with classic pastas from Emilia-Romagna such as Tagliatelle Bolognese.
ABOUT THE WINERY: Established in the early 1960s, the Santa Lucia estate is a result of merging the lands owned by the family patriarch with those of his father. This union created a substantial farm of about 100 hectares, with 12 hectares dedicated to vineyards. These vineyards, located 250 meters above sea level in Mercato Saraceno within the Savio valley, lie at the heart of Romagna. Today, Santa Lucia's vineyards are cultivated using organic and biodynamic farming methods.
