## Food pairing

The crisp acidity and supple tannins of Romagna Sangiovese slice neatly through rich meats and savory pasta ragùs. The fruit-forward nature of the wine harmonizes effortlessly with cured meats and classic everyday Italian cuisine without overpowering lighter meat preparations.

## Wine making process

Crafted from Sangiovese grown on the Romagna hillsides and foothills. Grapes undergo destemming and gentle crushing followed by temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation with selected yeasts. A short to medium skin maceration extracts vibrant fruit identity and smooth tannins while avoiding excess astringency. The wine is matured exclusively in stainless steel and concrete vats to preserve pure grape typicity before protective bottling.
