Sangiovese from Romagna? We've got you covered.
Villa Papiano Vigna Beccaccia Romagna Sangiovese 2021 - "The very pale shade speaks of high altitude Sangiovese, as does the delicate nose of violets and juniper berry. The palate is light and dry with a mouthwatering intensity and a long peppery-mineral finish. This is a single-vineyard selection, vinified with spontaneous, whole-bunch fermentation and aged in cement vats. An object lesson in expressing the sense of place." 95pts, Richard Baudains, Decanter

The article is super interesting and touches on the sub regions, it's history, and how there are some fantastic producers making glorious, pure 100% Sangiovese's that would give top Chianti a run for its money. We see particularly with focus on 13 particular wines, how Romagna is kicking its reputation for being Tuscany's sickly, tepid brother and a region to delve deeper - the full Decanter article can be found HERE.
one of his 13 sits proudly in the Swig staple, though I would admit it is often harshly overlooked. Well then, let us join with them and make a song and dance of it!
