Description
What kind of wine it is
Portocanale di Cesenatico Sangiovese Rosato is a still wine from Emilia-Romagna, crafted by Leonardo da Vinci. This Rubicone rosé is made from Sangiovese grapes and a harmonious blend of other red varieties. The glass, with its delicate pink hue, introduces a fresh and balanced flavour profile. The pronounced acidity enlivens the palate, revealing a pleasant crisp and savoury aromatic finish. On the nose, there are marked floral notes, intertwined with fragrant hints of white peach, apricot and cherry.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from vineyards cultivated at around fifty metres above sea level in the areas of Castrocaro Terme, Predappio and Bertinoro. The soils are characterised by a silty clay at the base of the hills, becoming slightly stony towards the Apennines. This specific geological formation gives the wine a subtle minerality, enhancing its natural savouriness. The oenological project pays homage to Leonardo da Vinci's journeys in Romagna, applying the Leonardo Method to faithfully translate the most genuine expression of the territory into the glass.
How it is produced
After harvesting from vineyards trained with the spurred cordon system, the bunches undergo a gentle pressing for delicate colour extraction. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature with selected yeasts. To enrich the texture, the wine rests for two months on fine lees using the bâtonnage technique. This careful cellar work preserves the aromatic precision of the fruit, ensuring immediate harmony on the palate and a refreshing lively acidity.
History and Curiosities
Originating from Emilia-Romagna, the 1502 Sangiovese Portocanale is an elegant tribute to the historical connection between Leonardo da Vinci and this region. The Leonardo da Vinci Wineries present the 2022 vintage following the exclusive Leonardo Method, a production philosophy that enhances the vocation of the vineyards of Castrocaro Terme, Predappio and Bertinoro. This refined Rosato Rubicone IGT, boasting the prestigious 96 points awarded by Luca Maroni to the range, encapsulates in every glass the most vibrant and authentic Romagna winemaking tradition.

The original headquarters, restructured and enlarged, are still the operative centre today. The winery is situated in the borough of Vinci, just 5 kilometres from the birthplace of the world famous artist and inventor Leonardo.
The co-operative takes its name from the great man, paying homage to the mind of the man who was universally recognised as a genius and to emphasise its deep-rooted bond with the territory, the same bond which Leonardo felt and whose surname is specifically associated with the village where he was born on 15 April 1452.
Today, Cantine Leonardo da Vinci is a pioneering co-operative, innovative and modern, which relies on the work and grape production of its 160 members. Read more
