Sangiovese di Romagna 2021
Balia di Zola
Located in the southern part of the Emilia-Romagna, Balìa di Zola produces beautiful expressions of Sangiovese. The Fiore family bought this small estate that came with 3 hectares of 40-years-old vines in 1999. They made it their mission to revive the vineyards and expand upon their holdings by planting a further three hectares. Sangiovese is very much their focus and passion. Ideal altitude, soil composition, climate, and proximity to woodland are all playing a role to make excellent Sangiovese di Romagna, one of Italy’s best kept secrets.
Ageing for 6 months in stainless steel and 3 months refinement in bottle before release. Aromas of red and black berry and cherry alongside notes of violet. Fresh and vibrant on the palate with crunchy fruits and soft tannins.

Emilia-Romagna
Emilia-Romagna spans almost the entire width of the northern Italian peninsula, sandwiched between Tuscany to the south, Lombardy and Veneto to the north and the Adriatic Sea to the east.
DOC and DOCG
Today, about 15% of wine produced in Emilia-Romagna falls under the region's 22 DOC titles, and only a tiny fraction under its two DOCGs, Albana di Romagna and Colli Bolognesi Classico Pignoletto.
Grape Varieties
The most famous Emilian wine is perhaps Lambrusco: a sparkling, joyous red made from grapes grown near Modena and Reggio Emilia provinces. It is best enjoyed as a dry wine that is exceptional with local cuisine. Contrastingly, Romagna DOC’s best wines are largely based on the red Sangiovese grape, usually a robust red with pronounced fruity flavours. Albana and Trebbiano are important in making white wines. Easy-drinking whites are made from Malvasia and Ortrugo (which has its own DOC) and fruit-driven reds from Barbera and Bonarda.
