A true expression of the Romagna Sangiovese Predappio Riserva region, this label was created to showcase the soul of the local hills through the exclusive use of \u003cstrong\u003eSangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes. In the glass, it reveals an intense and structured profile, ideal for elegantly accompanying hearty, land-based dishes. It pairs perfectly with red meats, flavourful pork-based preparations, and generous platters of \u003cstrong\u003emature cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e, thanks to its deep and persistent palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere does it come from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards stretch across the \u003cstrong\u003ehills of Predappio\u003c\/strong\u003e, at an altitude between one hundred and fifty and three hundred metres. The vines, sheltered by the proximity of a dense forest, are trained using the spur-pruned cordon method on a poor \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous-clay soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, characterised by ancient Pliocene marine sandstones known as \u003cstrong\u003eSpungone\u003c\/strong\u003e. This particular geological composition defines the profound identity of the area, giving the grapes a clear, mineral, and authentic territorial signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is it produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grape bunches are harvested strictly by \u003cstrong\u003ehand-picking\u003c\/strong\u003e and taken for vinification in wooden vats, where spontaneous fermentation is carried out by indigenous yeasts. The extraction process involves a prolonged \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e, which can last from twenty-five to forty-five days, necessary to define the wine’s dense structural weave. Finally, maturation takes place in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e to promote perfect evolutionary balance. It is recommended to decant for an hour before serving to best appreciate its broad aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Lucciole 2022 is the prestigious \u003cstrong\u003eorganic Sangiovese Riserva\u003c\/strong\u003e through which Chiara Condello expresses the authentic soul of the hills of Predappio.
