Sangiovese Appassimento Romagna D.O.C. 14,5°
From £14.45
The Sangiovese grapes designated for drying are picked by hand into crates, around the middle of September, after careful selection and quality checks. Then the grapes are left to dry in a fruit cellar with controlled temperature and humidity, for at least sixty days. After the grapes are lightly pressed, fermentation is temperature-controlled at 25°C, complete with skins. Pumping over and punching down processes are performed to help the colour to dissolve and the aromas to develop. Then racking is used to separate the skins from the wine must. Malolactic fermentation is carried out as part of the aging process, in order to make the wine rounder and softer on the palate. Then, some of the wine is put in barriques for a minimum of nine months.
