Tasting Notes
This Sangiovese comes from an ancient vineyard grown in the area of Perdappio Alta. 8 months in cement and tonneaux and for a further 24 months in the bottle. On the nose, you get intense aromas of small ripe red fruits followed by hints of violet potpourri and dark, earthy spices. On the palate it is soft and of great structure, enhanced by subtle and elegant tannins, mineral and long spicy finish, great persistence in the mouth.
More Info
Located in the unique terroir of Modigliana, on the border of Emilia Romagna and Tuscany, Villa Papiano's vineyards are the highest in the area, planted on terraces between 450-570 metres above sea level. Their wines are defined by the estate's high elevation and steep slopes, ancient soils of marl and sandstone, and unique microclimates created by the dense forest that surrounds them. Farming organically, in a way that respects their incredible surroundings and winemaking with minimal intervention, the Bordini family focus almost exclusively on indigenous varieties and old clones. These are remarkable wines from a terroir that we're adamant will soon be talk of the town.
