"Le Morine" Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore Riserva is born in the hilly area of Imola, on the border between Emilia and Romagna. Fattoria Monticino Rosso is a family-run business, with a total area of 37 hectares, of which about twenty are cultivated with vineyards. The varieties present in the company are the classic ones of the territory, among the whites the Albana and Pignoletto, and among the reds Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Sangiovese has always been cultivated in this area with excellent results. Together with Tuscany, the Romagna represents the land of excellence for this ancient grape with still mysterious origins. The winery is managed with a craft spirit, which translates into great attention to vineyard cultivation and cellar work aimed at preserving the qualities of the raw material, in order to highlight the particular characteristics of the terroir of the production area.

The wine matures for 24 months in barrique and finishes aging with 12 months in the bottle. In the glass, it has an intense ruby red color with light garnet reflections. On the nose, it releases intense aromas of cherry and ripe red fruit, floral nuances, hints of aromatic herbs, spices, notes of cocoa and hints ofgraphite minerals. The sip is rich and long, with good aromatic complexity, which harmoniously leads to a savory and balanced finish. A great red from the territory, a perfect expression of a mature and elegant Sangiovese.
