Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore 'Prugneto' Poderi dal Nespoli 2023

The Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore “Prugneto” is one of the most representative and prestigious labels of Poderi dal Nespoli. An important regional reference point, it has gained attention thanks to a range of wines that express in a straightforward and authentic way the best territorial customs. Sangiovese has dwelled in these lands for centuries, which, together with Toscana, constitute a historic cradle. It is a intense, rich, and fruity red, that highlights the elegance of the grape variety, thanks to careful vinification and a maturation process with a very well-calibrated use of wood.

“Prugneto” Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore from Poderi dal Nespoli is born in a reality that for four generations has cultivated vineyards in the area of the Forlì hills, producing the classic wines of the Romagna tradition. It is the fruit of a particularly suited parcel of the estate. The Sangiovese grapes come, in fact, only from the Prugneto vineyard, the first farm purchased by the Ravaioli family, which has always distinguished itself for providing grapes of superior quality, characterized by very rich and concentrated aromas. The vines are cultivated on medium-textured soils predominantly clay-based, very suitable for red grape varieties, which, thanks to the mild climate, reach a perfect degree of ripeness. At the end of the harvest, the bunches are sent for fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with skin maceration. The wine matures in steel tanks, except for a portion that ages in 25hl French oak barrels, in order to enrich its aromatic complexity.

The red Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore “Prugneto”, produced by the Forlì winery Poderi dal Nespoli, is a beautiful expression of the grape variety, in its exuberant immediate pleasantness. Excellent to taste when young, it also has a good aging potential. In the glass, it presents a beautiful bright red color. The olfactory profile is characterized by floral nuances of iris, violet, aromas of marasca, red currant, plum, delicate hints of underbrush and spices. Of medium structure, it has a tannic texture well integrated and a ripe and pleasantly juicy fruit. The finish is persistent and fruity.
