Description
What kind of wine it is
Vigna Probi by Villa Papiano is a still red wine representing the Romagna Sangiovese Modigliana Riserva area. Made from Sangiovese grapes, it stands out for its defined aromatic profile reminiscent of tangy red fruit, pimento and sandalwood, with subtle wild nuances. On the palate, it reveals a juicy structure, supported by lively tannins that lead to a persistent almondy finish. This intense flavour profile pairs beautifully with red meats, game and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from a single terraced vineyard located in Modigliana, on the hills of Emilia-Romagna. The mature vines are grown using the bush vine system at an altitude between 500 and 530 metres, in a temperate climate that encourages optimal aromatic development. The use of biodynamic agriculture respects the characteristics of the sandy soils, composed of a sandstone matrix with clay intrusions. This geological composition gives the wine a marked aromatic precision and perfect balance.
How it is produced
The production process begins with a spontaneous fermentation, activated exclusively by indigenous yeasts. Afterwards, the must undergoes maceration at a controlled temperature in steel containers, useful for extracting colour and polyphenolic substances. Malolactic fermentation takes place in oak barrels, softening the structure before the resting phase. The maturation process continues for twelve months between concrete and large barrels, followed by bottle ageing of at least twenty-four months, essential for harmonising the fruit and spice notes.
History and Curiosities
The ancient roots of Sangiovese in Emilia-Romagna, documented since the seventeenth century, are brought to life in this wine produced from the single terraced vineyard Vigna Probi in Modigliana. Grown as bush vines following the principles of Demeter biodynamic agriculture, this wine boasts a path of excellence that has earned it prestigious accolades, including the renowned Tre Bicchieri.
