Sangiovese Superiore Federico 2024

Description

Still organic red, Sangiovese Superiore, 13% ABV, produced by Pandolfa. 2024 vintage. A Sangiovese that tells the story of an estate steeped in history, whose beginnings are lost in tales of knights, intrigue, and battles. The Sangiovese grapes are fermented in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. The wine remains on the skins for an average of 14 days, followed by malolactic fermentation. Aged for a minimum of 6 months in stainless steel tanks and 2 months in bottle. On a herbaceous periwinkle, it develops fruity aromas of morello cherry and citrusy notes of blood orange; the latter soften into a ferrous sensation accompanied by a gentle note of violet and a pungent touch of pepper. Fresh and savory on the palate, balancing a distinctly caloric sensation; the finish has notes of licorice.

Pandolfa is a wine estate rich in history, with roots going back to the day of knights, intrigues and battles. The name "Pandolfa" is believed to be derived from Pandolfo Malatesta, the Lord of Fano, who headquartered here with his troops before plundering the Castle of Fiumana in 1436. Pandolfo was one of the most audacious condottieri of all times, but also a sophisticated art lover, and his portrait, painted by Piero della Francesca in 1451 and now kept at the Louvre Museum in Paris, remains a reminder of such an icon figure.
